Edna Lamb Weis is instructor in French. ln addition to her linguistic ability, Mrs. Weis is adept at making clever cookies and other lovely dainties. No doubt she too puts into practice the adage the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. N'est pas? F. C. Peters, professor of German is another of those people who like diversion. When the declensions and conjugations become monotonous he distributes the song books and the class sings Stille Nacht, O Tannen- baum and the like. Sometimes, he enjoys a romantic session when he assigns l-loher als die Kirchef' l-le is one professor who is informal, natural, and yet forceful in his classroom. Kansas Wesleyan is his hobby and he spends much of his time in promotion work. Walter S. Adams, professor of economics, speaks in terms of food consumed per capita, the price of wheat in Liverpool, and gold as a medium of exchange. Prof. Adams is very thorough and requires minute detail. Ofou might know he would be since he is a debate coachD. l-lis class- room manner is very calm as is proved by the story of the freshman who went to sleep one morning and woke up in the midst of a senior economics class. Alexander Brown Mackie is the man who puts those fighting Coyote teams on the athletic fields. Despite the fact that Coach had to work pretty hard to pull his football squad through Psychology 'l, they were conference -cv . , gf is champions. l-lowever, his basketballers coul , y wwf difficulty, surpass the girls' team coached b er half. Pearl Adair Jessen is instructor in public s usic and art. She is accomplished at singing do fact, so accomplished that she succeeded in teaching s e of it to a class at the unsightly hour of 6:45 A. M. lt is M . Jessen also who makes the fuzzy little dogs and tin- stemmed flowers. Georgia Gildersleeve, librarian, watches the books and also keeps an eye on the would-be-students who can't find any other reason to see the girl friend so they park behind the books whose unsuspecting authors would be shocked to know that half of the same were read up side down. Mary Dillenback teaches the gentle art of home econ- nomics. Miss Dillenback is an authority on vitamins and it is to her that all the cute young things go to learn how to boil water and to darn socks. She also undertakes to teach a few of the rudiments of cooking to Wesleyan's male advocates of a well rounded education. Luther Broiles is assistant caretaker of the notes in the auditor's office. Mr. Broiles admits his wife to be the boss and he likes it! The two little Broileses came into college life at an early age as assistants to the cheer leader. l.uther's pet hobby is arguing the opposite on any question, regard- Mrs. Weis Prof. Peters Prof. Adams Coach Mackie Mrs. Jessen Miss Gildersleeve Miss Dillenback Mr. Broiles less of his beliefs. ummm: f Q 5

Getting xfixcoiuaintecl With the faculty BY DORIS LUNDIN For the benefit of incoming freshmen who would like to know how to get on the good side of the profs and also for the few CPD students who slept through their classes this year, we wish to set forth this bit of information about the faculty, sometimes called the necessary evil of Kansas Wesleyan. We can't get along with them and we can't get along without them. l-lowever, the situation really isn't that bad for we have a faculty of which we can well be proud -when they're asleep. Dr. Larkin Bruce Bowers, the gentleman in the oval, is president of the university. Dr. Bowers won the heart of every Wesley Ann and Joe when he allowed the sign saying No School todayli' to be posted after the l-lays basketball game, ln spite of his little habit ofcalling students onto the carpet and his constant use of what not he isnit a bad sort, considering that he is president and pretty much on the spotf, Dean Matthew D. Smith is perhaps the best known faculty member since he appears at every chapel with a long list of announcements. l-le, at least, has the distinction of getting attention if only on the day before vacation when Dean Smith Pres. Bowers Dean Weis Dean l-lousel Dean Sicard Dean King Q i l 1 QW, ft he is expected to say, There will be no classes tomorrow. The lndian blanket which hangs in his office is only one of many relics which he collected in Latin America. Dean E. F. l-l. Weis is dean ofthe College of Music, l-le runs a close second in the announcement-making race. Dean Weis conducts the Philharmonic Choir through all kinds of weather, even in the spring when a young manis fancy turns to thoughts other than of choir rehearsals. Mary Beal l-lousel is professor of English literature in addition to being Dean of Women. lt is she who tries to turn all the young hopefuls romantic and poetic by reminiscing about her travels-Venitian moonlit nights, foggy London, fashionable Paris. Perhaps that accounts for some of the dreamy looks on faces floating about in the halls. Lyman J. Sicard is Dean of the Business College in addition to his duties at K. W. U. f-le daily manipulates millions of dollars as nonchalantly as if he were counting cranberries. Spending most of his time down town, he is seen very little on the campus. ln fact, the photographer had to catch him just as he was about to dash away. A. l-l. King is Dean Emeritus and an integral part of Wesleyan and her traditions. Dean King always sits with the bench-warmers during a game and gives moral support to the players when they return to the bench to face the coach. When you are walking to town, you may be assured of a ride when the dean's long black roadster comes along. Oh, for more like Dean King! fPage 221 if 'bi LW if lf I ff Nffp i rw llxtl

X., X .gt if WC gulf' f Lawrence C. Thomas teaches biology and kindred subjects to those of an inquisitive turn of mind. With such things as skeletons and sharks to look forward to Cto say nothing of the dull classesl it's no wonder Dr. Thomas can't get to class on time. Who wouldn't prefer to stay at home and entertain his daughter rather than go to class to cut up frogs? Walter S. Long, professor of chemistry, has a long list of letters after his name. ln addition to being able to drag down so many degrees, Dr. Long, though most deem him to be the quietest of faculty members, is very witty and is constantly making puns. Now that you know it, perhaps next year you'll be able to keep up with him. CNotice that word perhapsj bmi Fitzpatrick McCarty is instructor in English composition. CRhetoric to you, frosh.D Behold her who encourages the green freshmen to write long harrangues about the wind or sunflowers or rain and then to their misery announces that the next theme will be oral. l-low- ever, with all her attempts to be hard or rigid, Mrs. McCarty is a general favorite. Rev, l.. F. Arend, pastor of University Church is a graduate of Wesleyan and the father of a son and daughter who are present students. Rev. Arend is especially close to the college Che lives just across the streetj. Seriously, though, he is as good a friend as any Wesleyan student has, Dr. Thomas Dr. Long Rev. Arend Dr. Cornett Miss Birch Prof. Clair and the college is fortunate in having him as leader of the church at the gates of the campus. John S. Cornett, professor of history and government, is a very conscientious advocate of library research, just look up the list of his degrees and imagine how much he's done. l-le's an authority on what king followed who and speaking of authorities, it has been rumored that he is a connoisseur of peanuts. Margaret Birch, instructor in art, is just finishing her first year on the campus. During that time she has built up a fine department. We have also noticed a marked tendency on her part toward becoming musical CNeed the violin be mentioned'?D Ruth Law Mackie has charge of physical education for women. Fore! Look at that swing! lt can't be said of Mrs. Mackie that she asks others to do what she herself cannot. Between gym classes, she perfects her golf strokes, swims, does exercises, and manages coach. Arnold Clair, professor of violin, though he is a new- comer on the campus has already made a name for himself as a musician. lt was he who piloted the band through a more or less successful season even though it was a stormy one. Prof. Clair's car is seen parked in front of the dorm sometimes. COh, yes he eats there.D lPagc 241 Mrs. McCarty Mrs. Mackie
