Few people realize the specific duties of the vice-president, but no student of Hen- drix could fail to note the significant work of Dr. Robert L. Campbell as head of the English department. l-le is regarded as a leading authority on Chaucer, and a de- voted scholar to all English literature. As important as his academic ability as a pro- fessor is his great tact in imparting a philoso- phy of living to his students. The love and enthusiasm Dr. Campbell has for his Work creates an earnest desire for learning in all of his classes. His fresh- man English courses provide not only a sound foundation in grammar and rhetoric, but also an excellent orientation of college life. Dr. Campbells scholastic achievement is matched by the success he has found in obtaining satisfaction and happiness in life and the ability to pass that happiness on to others. Calm and dignified, yet possess- ing all the humor and enthusiasm of his students, Dr. Campbell is blessed with a very versatile personality which has dis- tinguished him as one of the most popular professors at Hendrix. ite VICE-PRESID

!fA8 Cllffege Dean W. C. Buthman is the scholarly, keen-eyed man who presides over the small book lined office as Dean of the College and Professor of History. The intellect and char- acter of Dean Buthman gives him a unique place in all that is Hendrix College. Every Freshman, upon entering Hendrix, enrolls with the aim of taking at least one history course under Dr. Buthman. ln his capacity as either professor or Dean his clear thinking, his sense of humor, and his sound judgment have earned him the re- spect of students who are enriched by their classroom experiences with him. Any one who, during four years at Hen- drix fails to know Dean Buthman intimately has missed an important feature of his col- lege career. Each student turns to Dr. Buth- man for the knowledge and sound advice that comes from an experienced viewpoint of life and from or philosophy that enriches everyone with whom he comes in contact. Dr. Buthman also attends to the discipli- nary problems of the school in such a way that few are aware of their existence, and gives to the entire Hendrix Campus ideas and ideals of justice and the help of a true friend. One of the most admired and respected members of the faculty, Dr. W. C. Buthman is a leader of men, a scholar, historian, ad- visor, and above all, a good friend.

74 TREASURER ls that where all our money goes? ln that little office? The freshman's question can be answered by one word: temporarily. For that little office is the financial center of Hendrix. Through its portals pass more dollars and more headaches than most peo- ple can imagine. But each problem is dis- missed and each dollar disbursed with the efficiency of one who knows his business. That person is Mr. E. Wainright Martin, treas- urer and business manager of Hendrix. Scarcely enough praise can be given him for the expert handling to get the most out of its resources. The Million Dollar Cam- paign and building program of the college have added responsibility to his office, but these have not hindered Mr. Martin from taking a deep, personal interest in every student. His competence hardly exceeds his friendliness and warmth. His quick wit, ready smile, and firm handclasp have made him a favorite of all. Affectionately called Old Moneybagsu, Mr. Martin has earned the love and admira- tion of everyone at Hendrix. Through his activities as a leader in civic and church af- fairs, he has endeared himself to people everywhere with the same earnestness and sincerity that has made Hendrix proud of E. W. Martin.
