HIS is the one academic department that we all share in common. What cadet at Fork Union will not remember the incomparable experience of having been put through his paces in readin' and writin ' under the thorough discipline of those seasoned veterans of the English department? Who will not have a better apprecia- tion for the riches of literature for having listened to Capt. Waldron's discourses upon the novel? Who will not find his mind keener after following Capt. Wildman into the labyrinth of grammatical detail and precision? Although most of the students remember Capt. Springer prin- cipally for his Latin, they are unanimous in praising him as the most thorough of the younger members of the faculty. The English department has been blessed recently by the addition of Capt. Hart, former pastor of a church in New York. E GLISH l CAPT. HARRY M.

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.

ANGUAGES HERE is a distinct variation in the teacher personalities of our language department. Capt. Garden brings to his French classes ' the sophistication and savoir-faire of the widely-travelled man-of- the-world. Capt. Lunsford, on the other hand, brings to his students of Spanish the perspective of a retiring scholar. Capt. Payne, fresh from experiences in public school work, contributes enthusiasm for the language of the ancient Romans. Capt. Daniel concludes that what cannot be imparted to his classes during the regular period should be administered between the hours of ten and twelve on Saturday night. CAPT. LINWOOD E.
