Our social contacts with the faculty have meant much to us this year. At the Campus Party we watched Dr. Ashton in his wild plaid shirt and red hat sock a homer. At department teas we saw austere pedagogues transformed into real persons who were learning to drink tea without sugar. Looking at the Hessian soldier hre-irons of Dr. Beatty and his new wife, stroking Tom Thumb, the great black Persian cat belonging to Dr. Bussey, talking to Dr. and Mrs. Curtis at VV inter Cotillion, walking to chapel with the Dean, examining Dr. Nitchie's Blake drawing and Dr. Hopkins' first editions were high points in our year. To find our faculty living normally in this war-tossed world has been a constant challenge to us. To chat with them of flowers and books, to laugh together at Thurber, to gain new stability from their composed behavior and to be inspired by their devotion to truth are opportunities we appreciate. Cnr own puzzling problem of duty-whether we should continue

in our studies or go to worlc in an airplane factory-has been sympa- thetically discussed by our faculty. They have given advice freely but have let us make our own decisions. VVC have needed help in planning schedules and careers, and we have been glad to find that our busiest pro- fessors could take time to deliberate over the respective merits of Fine Arts ll and Music 5. The cooperative democratic spirit of our faculty has never been better exemplihed than in planning Goucher's war-time policy. Students joined with the college personnel in determining our shortened third term and no summer session. This was not done through authoritative fiat, but by democratic decision of an intellectual group. Seeing our professors take their place as members of the civic com- munity has been a pleasure this year as before. Their lectures concerning South America, backgrounds of the war, and hopes for peace have made our city better informed and consequently better able to cope with new situations. Their publications have added to the world's scientific and scholarly achievements, and some Crara avisj have appealed to the man in the street. Several publications have been nationally recognized. 'XVe have been more than proud to boast of Miss XVinslow's winning of the Pulitzer Prize for jonathan Edwards and the enthusiastic reviews of Miss Blanchard's edition of Steele's correspondence. The work of our faculty for better housing, improved labor conditions, and peace have also been important contributions to our community. From our four-year association with these fine scholars we learn much. From their precepts we get a great body of fact. Most of all, from their example we gain an appreciation of life lived in fullness. Their stability in disturbance, their eagerness for truth, and their appreciation of beauty are to us models calling for emulation. lack will not be made a dull boy so long as the tradition of Student'Faculty games is maintained.
