. . . C7614 ghdafaafic 'w zeaaion LL the world is at work in the year l94-2 . . '. building, expanding, destroy- ing . . . the factories, the mills, the fields are working three shifts. Man's eneI'gies are ap- plied to the immediate task of defending his away of lifef' With machines oiled in blood, he strives to subdue his opponents. Yet somewhere in this hectic world there is a nucleus of peace and quiet, of sanity and stability . . . on the campuses of a thousand colleges, a hundred universities scattered o'er all the earth we find that civilization still ad- vances in the souls of sage professors quietly preoccupied with the ageless and the universal. So it has been on our campus at Houghton . . . there were those who worked patiently be- hind impressive desks . . . thumbing through worn textbooks covered with chalk dust . . . lecturing long hours on a variety of subjects . . . handing down a still glowing torch to another generation . . . perpetuating those ideals of humanity which, for the present, have been crowded into the shadows of destruction by the worldis mad rush to victory . . . pro- moting everything for which nations strive . . understanding, liberty of thought and will . . . building a character-centered education in the hearts and minds of impatient youth. Yes, their share of the work was plenty and their endeavors least recognized . . . we took their efforts for granted and often resented their four hour assignments and unannounced .' .

CIILLEGE DEAN Surrounded by shelves of books, and schol- arship files . . . Dean Hazlett has made lofty dreams of higher scholastic standards become realities. Through his four years as Dean, he has advanced the recognition of the college, taken an active interest in intercollegiate de- bate, and instituted the manuscript bureau of the English department. Respecting his professional attitude and coveting his classic eloquence, we have given him an enviable position in our estimations. Pk -'sr ,, A urn un J. KARKER ANNE Mfxuwm RM W. H.xz1.lz'r'r BUSINESS MANAGER Backing our building program with far- sighted pecuniary planning was our supervisor of economic dilemmas. We often found him . . . straddling rippled furrows of fertile earth on the college farm . . . filing bills and receipts behind his desk in the business office . . . or out of town on the trail of a valuable scoop of school supplies. ' ltis a thankless job . . . this one of doing one's best to cap the pressure of rising costs and aggravating priorities . . . keeping every- thing balanced and in running order . . . bear- ing the frowns of both professor and student for necessary restrictive measures. REGISTRAII In a spacious office . . . always the scene I of bustling activity . . . we often heard a typewriter tapping out its rhythmic staccato of schedules . . . a charming How of chatter or a ujust heard from lohnnyi' frequently greeted our entrance. Wliethei' it was hashing over courses, post- ing exam schedules, filling out indices, or compiling graduation blanks . . . Anne was admired for her pleasant eiliciency.
