INCE the erection of our new Science Hall, which is the home of the four sciences: chemistry, physics, biology, and general science, the Science Department has become one of the most progressive units of our academic department. The wit of Capt. Stoutamire, in general science, the earnestness of Capt. Miles, in chemistry, the rich experiences of Capt. Moody, in physics, and the vivid display of charts and models in Capt. Hudgins' biology room, has done much to stimulate student interest in the Sciences. SCIE CE CAPT. KENNETH S. MILES, A,B., Lynchburg College, Chemisiry, 2 years. CAPT.

Academic Q Department Among the faculty at Fork Union Military Academy there is distributed a liberal number of University Degrees of the higher brackets. A casual glance through the following pages will more than substantiate this claim. A startling array of colleges and universi- ties are represented in our exceptional faculty, and we are particularly fortunate in reaping the benefits of such a wide cultural and educational background. We live with our teachers as well as work with them, and, therefore, we feel that they are our friends and helpers, as well as our instructors. The seniors unite in wishing for them the best of success. When we think of Fork Union Military Academy we think of Col. N. J. Perkins, that kindly gentleman who helped us plan our course of action through our school days. We all owe our Headmaster a huge debt of gratitude for his untiring efforts and timely advice in the matter of solving the vital problems which have faced us during a critical period of life. COL. N. J. PERKINS, B.A., Dennison Uni versity, 25 years. 'I6

M THEIVIATICS HIS department is studiously avoided, whenever possible, by those who have an aversion to hard work and mental application. Headed by Maior Snead, the math department has applied pressure in the place where it is most urgently needed-the development of straight, clear thinking on the part of cadets. MAJ. E. J.
