G. W, U. THE 1916 CHEERY TREE G. W. U. FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES DEPARTMENT A mere glance at the names of the members of the faculty of this branch of our university will reveal characters who have obtained a most exalted position in their respective branches of study ; men whose names are known throughout the Western Hemisphere for their achievements and success, and whose life-work has been to build up a student body and prepare graduates who favorably compare with those of the leading universities of America and Europe, The deans of the several departments are known in all realms of science, literature, engineering and education, and are recognized as authorities in their own particular endeavor. One can scarcely read a newspaper without encountering the name of the dean of our “School of Graduate Studies 1 for Dr. Charles E. Munroe is a recognized authority on all branches of chem- istry, and is recognized by all as the foremost authority on explosives in the Western Hemisphere, if not in the world. Professor Howard Lincoln Hodgkins, the dean of the College of Engi- neering, is a name which cannot be uttered without it being associated with his great ability as a master of mathematics and engineering subjects. His work for the Navy Department in the computations for the Nautical Almanac has made his name famous throughout the world. Dean William Allen Wilbur, of Columbian College, is another of our famous men, being the author of “English Rhetoric, ' ’ the text-book so highly praised by outsiders, as well as by our own student body, William Carl Ruediger, the dean of the “Teachers College, 11 and famous everywhere for his educational methods, is the fourth and last dean of the Department of Arts and Sciences. His college has shown a rapid growth and improvement since his appointment, and we are able to attribute its progress only to his ability. Little would one have thought many years ago, when this university first opened its doors, that its faculty at the present day would far outnumber its student body at that time, yet such is the case. While our student body has grown until now its enrollment is bordering on two thousand students, our faculty has also shown a marked improvement in both numbers and ability. Our professors are not only teachers, but are authors, for more than one of them has published many volumes. With Professor George N. Henning at the head of the Romance Languages, and Professors Hermann Schoenfeld and Alfred Schmidt directing the Germanic Languages, with equally as capa- ble men at the heads of the various other branches of study, we feel that we cannot hope for anything but success. It is needless to say that the student body heartily appreciates the untir- ing endeavors of the members of the faculty, and holds them in its highest esteem. Success to each and every one of them is our earnest wish. 21
