College as usual may well be considered the watchword of the present, for the education of young women to be at home in a Changing new world is the special concern of our professors. Educating has become increasingly diHicult among the new and disturbing problems of total war and its aftermath. Foresight in anticipating situ- ations which result from world conflict has led to the addition of pertinent courses to the col- lege curriculum and the revitalization of old courses. The changed curriculum helps future graduates to be properly equipped to deal with conditions in the world of tomorrow. Thought- ful advice and experienced guidance give us conEdence in times when values are changing as rapidly as newspaper headlines. Their knowledge and understanding are anchors on the sea of emotional instability and irrationv ality in which we are living. Goucher College is represented in almost every phase of the nations war efforteon the home front and in the fighting forces. Goucher professors wear the uniforms of the Army, the Navy, and the Coast Guard. Others serve in a civilian capacity. Dr. Esther Crooks is ce- menting the Good Neighbor policy by teach- l4 ing English at the Cultural Institute in Lima, Peru, founded under the auspices of the United States government. Dr. Wilfred Beardsley is in Washington with the Foreign Broadcasting Intelligence Service as an inter- preter of foreign government broadcasts for the national government. Dr. Harold Lloyd has recently left Goucher to do special research work in chemistry. Mr. Wilmer F. Bartholo- mew, who formerly taught music at Goucher, is now busy with research work in the held of acoustics in one of the Yale laboratories taken over by the Navy. Faculty extra-curricular activities include everything from lecturing on post war prob- lems to serving as nurses, aides. Last summer Dr. Jeanne Rosselet taught F rench at Hopkins under the Army Specialist Training Program. Dr. Elizabeth Redden tMrs. Fitzhughy is Eco- nomic Analyst for the local OPA. Dr. Grace Hiller devotes Wednesdays to interviewing newcomers to the city who are unable to pay for medical services. Dr. Louise Seibert offers hospitality to convalescent French sailors. These are only a few among many who serve both college and country in this year of 194-4. W e, the students, have come to the realiza- tion that they also serve who remain behind to teach the way, to impart the culture of today and yesterday to the world of the future, and perhaps in the final analysis, theirs is the great- est contribution of all.
