But the new dormitory would not be a success without the capable eHiciency of Miss Arnold, the Assistant Student Coun- selor and Director of Mary Fisher Hall. Miss Arnold is gay and youthful, and a recent Goucher graduate; the girls admire her for 30 Miss Conner Student Counselor Miss Arnold Assit Counselor Help at hand fur a ll 01' a data her willingness to cooperate and her sympa- thetic understanding. Since the college is now separated, coordination is needed be- tween the Towson and city administrations. The complete cooperation of Miss Arnold and Miss Conner, the Student Counselor, in- sures the unity of our Greater Goucher.

Foremost in their fields HE faculty members of Goucher Col- lege in this, the second year of the war, are faced with a divided duty. Theirs is no longer simply an academic life devoted to imparting knowledge to the students. Their authority and their ability to act as leaders make them a real necessity in the field of government work. So the faculty have divided their time and talents between the call of their school and the call of their country. Now, because of this increased demand upon them, we ap- preciate it even more when they take time out from their already heavy schedules for conferences and informal tete-a-tetes with us. Many of our professors have taken leaves of absence to hold full time jobs, for which the government feels their particular abilities are needed. T hey go to fill vacancies in a nation geared to total war. In answer to the first call of duty, Dr. Paul C. Boomsliter, Mr. Carl W. Rusteberg, and Dr. Edmund H. Chapman are now engaged in active duty with the Armed Forces. They could not see their duty as divided but answered first the need for them on the fight- ing front. Lieutenants Chapman and Ruste- berg offered their services to the Navy; Lt. Boomsliter entered the military force. And on the home front, Goucher is well represented by the nman behind the man be- 32 hind the gun? Many of the professors who were not able to give themselves bodily have lent their minds and skills to the government for as long as they are needed. Dr. Louise Kelly, former professor in the Department of Chemistry and the Drs. Wilfred and Grace Beardsley, who formerly taught us Romance Languages and Classics respectively, are now engaged in full-time work in Washington. Dr. Belle Otto is a chemist at Frankfort Arsenal. Miss Sylvia Himmelfarb is at Edgewood Arsenal with Miss Elizabeth Seward, former librarian at Goucher. Many other members of the faculty have pledged themselves to double-duty for the duration. Among them are Dr. Elinor Pan- coast, Economics and Sociology; Dr. Gairdner Moment, Biology; Dr. Alice Braunlich, Classics; Dr. Anna Miller, English; Dr. Florence Lewis, Mathematics; Dr. Eugene Curtis, History; Dr. 0121 Winslow, English; Dr. Harriette Vera, Physiology and Hygiene; Dr. Eleanor Spencer, Fine Arts; Dr. Louise Seibert, French; Dr. Marian Torrey, Math- ematics; Dr. Grace Baker and Dean Dorothy Stimson. Nautical and nice in their trim blue uniforms, Lieutenant Virginia Blunt and Dorothea Wyatt of the SPARS are paving the
