l WILLIAM JEFFERSON LHAMON, A. B., A. M. Dean of Bible School and Professor of English Bible. il School-of .the Bible of Drury College responds tola growing demand for Bible studies in. cultural ways, for better trained men in the ministry, and for better teachers in the Sunday Schools of all the churches. In addition to the K' ' twelve courses offered by Dean Lhamon, New Testament Greek is offered by Dr. lVlclVIurtryg Religious Pedagogy by Dr. Allen, Church History by Dr. Rull- koetter, and Ethics and Theism by President George. f To students entered as specials a Bible Certificate is given for the completion of sixty-five hours of work. Students are encouraged, however, to remain longer and take the A. B. degree. Drury's Bible Major course is open to all her A. B. students, and several of the courses in it are pop- ular as electives. Drury is one of the first of first-class colleges to round out her curri- culum thus by putting the Bible in its rightful place as a cultural study. Dr. Lhamon has made his courses exceedingly instructive and inspirational, both. in studies in the life of Christ and the Bible as literature. Each semester adds students to the department. Dr. Lhamon was formerly Dean of Bible at Missouri University, and is a Chautauqua lecturer in summer. As the author of a number of books on relig- ious topics he has won quite an enviable reputation.

WILLIAM ADDISON CHALFANT, A. M. Dean of the Conservatory of Music, and Professor of Piano, Qrgan and Theory. USIC in the best sense, does not reouire novelty,-nay, theyolder it is and the more we are accustomed to it, the greater its effect.. -Goethe. The Department oi Conservatory of Music stands unioue as the 'Q Lvl only institution of a similar nature in the southwest. It is strongly established in its permanency, the high standard of work done, and in arousing in the student an appreciation of the musical art. Conservatory graduates are easily becoming the capable and satisfactory teachers in colleges, and create a musical center in Whatever location they may have chosen. The contribution of this department of fine art to the college is such that cannot be marked by a drawn line, While the arts feature of the college curri- culum has been upheld and aesthetics brought to a level that cannot be chal- lenged. As teacher, Dean Chalfant gives tireless thought to the thorough training of the student, while in the college life no spirit isamore devoted to its every interest.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FINKEL, A. M., PH. D. Professor of Mathematics and- Physics. 67,52 I- HE Department of Mathematics and Physics lays, as it should, great emphasis 'Eg' upon thoroughness. Whatever is undertaken is fully mastered before other work is taken up. lnaccuracy in statement is not for a moment tolerated. All E questions and problems are worked out in a clear, rigorous and logical man- ner. All new Work is connected with what has preceded in such a Way as to make the development of the subject logical and clear. The Department offers splendid preliminary training for the engineering student, in that the practical is correlated with the theoreticalg for the teacher, in that the thorough training given enables one to teach the work scientifically, for the person who seeks a broad cultural training, in that the course will familiarize him with the interpretation of mathematical and scientific language which one will see so frequently. Although splendid Work is offered in the department, extra teaching help and equip- ment will enable it to do a greater and greater work for the future. . A A STUDENT. T, all 'NST fe de fli Tlf Co
