FACULTY BIBLICAL LITERATURE: A serious scholar with a vast knowl- edge of his subject, Flight seems to have an adequate department all by himself. ECONOMICS: Teaf has a passion for precise and concise think- ing; his art of questioning may alienate the sensitive, but he seems to care whether his students learn something. Despite his great accomplishments in economics, a select number will remember Hunter best for his hot licks on the drums; in class he specializes in acrobatics and deadpan humor. Bell has made his mark in the one year he has been around; he admits to an occasional pipeful to make himself feel older. ENGLISH: Ashmead calls you Mr., belittles your view, and then has the audacity to tell you that the form is related to the content. Friedrich, small and bustling, is unquestionably good in his field, but perhaps should stop peeking at his students. Lester catalogues nine- teenth century literature with a librarian ' s vigor; his jokes are funny, even if they are in his notes. Sargent continues to bounce around in his Shakespeare class looking like the life of the cocktail party. Snyder will still give the most callous veteran a start with his ecstatic exclama- tions; his love for poetry is catching. Mead, temporarily at Haverford from Shady Side Academy, is rather inclined to think that all the world ' s a rostrum. Wishmeyer, disenchanter of small boys, wants to put a meaning into life. As C. S. Lewis ' prize product, Quinn has added a touch of Gaelic freshness and serious scholarship to the scene. His vivacious counterpart, Woodroofe, looks for all the world like a casually tailored leprechaun. Both, Tweedledum and Tweedledee seem to love life for its own sake. Quinn appears twice in the pictures so he could be with Ken. HISTORY: The arrival of Rex Arragon has put a spoke in the Luntians ' historical wheel. The boys complain that they can never tell what his course is history of. Coming from Reed College, where marks don ' t seem to matter, he has handed many a shocker to less-enlightened Haverfordians. Drake, now back from a sabbatical, continues his quiet, sincere treatment of American History, with a Friendly bias. HISTORY OF ART: Bernheimer is the course. He is a brilliant lecturer, with just the right flavor of an accent. His knowledge of philosophy and history, as well as art, makes his course one of the richest offered at Haverford. HISTORY OF QUAKERISM: W. Comfort is still at his post offering a complete, if slightly sarcastic, view of the people known as Quakers. MUSIC: Swan is that wonderful looking gentleman with the goatee; his rules for music composition are aesthetic rather than mechani- cal. Reese ' s white locks can be seen streaming from his eternally open convertible when the Glee Club hits the road; he is a genial taskmaster, who is busy busy busy. 10

fordians have become almost fond of the maternal visage of Roberts and have a hidden respect for the sterner Whitehall. It may have been noted that thus far The Administration has been awarded the capital letters due a collective object. There is sociological evidence to show that it is in the very nature of a collective object to receive criticism or at best grudging tolera- tion. When one deals with the personalities — and at Haverford one still deals with personalities — of the trinity of Dean, Mac, and Gilbert, or even the arch- angel Aldo, the situation changes. Here are human beings who, like all others, are liked by some and disliked by others. Dr. Caselli has inspired some minds by his inter- pretation of Dante, and has offered to instruct others in sophisticated imbibition-a; Mac finished his studies a semester before the class of ' 53 at Penn; President White, though not invited out for a beer by a misin- formed Rhinie for some time, still keeps up the friendliness that makes him the best college presi- dent in the minds of many. Haverford, though mothering through, is administered by men who are willing to be friends as well as foster parents. Gilbert F. White Aldo Caselli Archibald Macintosh Lester C. Haworth
