Professor of History and Social Sciences And still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew. iUthough you dci not always see the point, he does and can readily ae- monstrate it to you. He is deeply interested in his chosen field and although carrying a heavy burden of work, lioth as teacher and pastor, he makes his courses very interesting and valuable.
