FACULTY Chapter I T a small college, they tell us, one of the chief ad- vantages is intimate connection with the faculty. Intimate connection, of course, means food. There is practically no one who, at some time or other, has not sponged off the faculty, using intimate connec- tion as an excuse. Hot chocolate off Mr. Williamson, coffee and doughnuts off the Herndons, endless wassail off the Hotsons, dinners for majors from the Lunts and the Snyders and the Fetters. In return, we twice dragged the whole lot to Founders Hall for more intimate connection. Everybody invited his major professor, and much good work was put in easily and painlessly. The evenings were ones of hysterical appreciation of jokes, then songs and speeches, and general ill feeling. Verv occasionally the faculty provides something besides food in their little intimate connection gatherings outside classes. The Hot- sons, for example, provide Art — almost any kind will do, but most of all thev love antiquated music. Dr. Steere will drag any number at anv time to Pendle Hill. Mr. Williamson will go horseback riding with vou, and Dr. Lunt and Professor Swann will play tennis. If you reallv wanted to, there ' s no reason to believe that Professor Post would refuse to let vou dig in his garden, hut probably no one ever asked. Some of the faculty have hobbies, and you can talk sailing with Dr. Snvder and Dr. Palmer, or stamps with Dr. Herndon. In fact, you could do all sorts of things with the facultv. That is, if vou ever wanted to.
