H. L. Breitenbach, M.A., Professor of English, ]907 Karl Henning Carlson, M.A., Professor of English, 1923 Prof. Breitenbach specializes in grammar and writing techniques. He knows Webster by page and Hne, loves nature, and possesses in- formative odds and ends about everything. Quiet Prof. Menzel handles religion classes and frequently conducts chapel. He knows his Bible and often wishes the freshmen did too. Religious education is Rev. Diene ' s field and his classes sing his praises. May I interrupt for only fifty minutes? and philosophy is in session, presided over by quizzical Dr. Richter. His lectures have just the right dash of season- ing to make puzzling philosophical pursuits most palatable. Barnabas Dienes, M.A. Religious Education Werner Richter, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, 1939 Theophil Wm. Menzel, M.A., Assistant Professor of Religion, 1940 23

THE FACULTY Miss Mildred Singleton with her professional assistants and the student workers, manages to achieve smooth and proper functioning in our library. She keeps the shelves stacked with the latest books on everything, plans current displays of new materials and booklets, and has her own system to avoid loss of books and keep debts down to a minimum. Our Library Trio rates a student vote of appreciation and thanks. For the foreign aspect of vocalization we have white-haired Prof. Stanger. Kindly and easy-going, he ' s a perfect replica of the typical professor. Ruth Koerber, new to our faculty this year, holds exclusive rights in Spanish, and is as- sistant in German. Dr. E. Heyse Dummer, head of the German department, uses the latest in teaching tech- niques, conducting his classes in collegiate slang. Dramatic and militant, he pursues Gezoo faithfully. Other tongue twisters in this department, namely Hungarian and Greek, are set forth by Rev. Dienes and Dr. Richter, respectively. So we ' ll know what and liovy to say it, our English department su[ j lies Profs. Carlson Mildred E. Singleloii, M.S.. Lilirarian. 1943 Harriet N. Traywicic, M.A., Assistant Librarian, 1943 and Breitenbach. Specializing in literature. Prof. Carlson baches ' it with a collection of literary gems which would rival the Chicago library: he likes to travel and is considerate.

illiam D. Grampp, M.A., Assistant Professor of Economics, 1942 Pearl L. Robertson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History, 1938 Paul N. Crusius, Ph.D., Professor of History, 1910-15; 1919 Dr. Crusius, the model history prof., has in- exhaustible patience and irreproachable eth- ical standards. He ' s half the reason history majors are history majors. Getting down to the present. Dr. Robert- son ' s main field is political science. Lenient with late papers and cuts, she ' s past grand master of her subject. Short, dynamic, and a whiz in economics. Prof. Grampp is a compact bundle of energy and intellectual brilliance. His courses are no snap; his authority extends into many fields. Society and solitude, growth and behavior — main topics in the Deans classes, sociology and education. Dean Mueller makes us aware of our world; his lectures stop with the bell on the syllable; and his course includes field trips for first-hand information. Dean Staudt specializes in teaching why we do what we do. She uses her classes as guinea pigs, teaches embryonic teachers, and scrutinizes mental processes. Theophil W . Mueller, D.D., Professor of Sociology, 1921 Genevieve Staudt, M.A., Assistant Professor of Education, 1931 24
