K N O X conuzcz 20 T H E F A C U L T Y THE GALE NINETEEN-TEN THE FACULTY 4' OUR faculty is the most remarkable thing I have seen about Knox Col- lege, said a trained observer who spent some time in sizing up the college recently. In the first place, it is unusual to find so many men who are so highly trained in their respective subjects working in any college of this type. In the second place, they seem to be men of big. broad characters and practical common sense as well as highly trained specialists. But the best thing about it is the relation they seem to hold to the college and to the students personally. It is unique. This observer went right to the center of one of the most striking character- istics of Knox. lt is only necessary to glance through a catalogue or a GALE to see that the department heads are men who are authorities in the subjects they are teaching-men of thorough training and broad teaching experience in the foremost educational institutions of this country and Europe. To appreciate the observer's second point, however, one must know the men personally. And this is not hard for the student to do. Indeed, he can hardly escape it, for at Knox so much emphasis is laid on the personal relation existing between student and pro- fessor that before he knows it the former feels that he is understood and really liked by at least one member of the faculty. The start once made, he is soon in a position to receive the benefits of one of the most effective means ot develop- ment that any educational institution can offer--the friendship of a body of broad- mindecl, Christian teachers, well trained for and deeply devoted to the work they are doing. What does it mean when Knox professors refuse from colleges and univer- sities East and West greater remuneration than they are receiving at Knox? This has been done throughout the history of the college, and is done now every year. Those in a position to know say that it is because the professors concerned believe that they can be of more real service and accomplish more real good at Knox and under Knox conditions than they can in any other field. This has been true for so long that Knox has come to draw men of these high ideals-and Knox scholastic standards are so high that no man without the highest professional ability can make good. The founders have passed away, the first great group of teachers, represented by Hurd, Comstock, and Churchill, is no more. But in the faculty of to-day we find the character of these joined with the modern efficiency and progressiveness which is to be a distinctive characteristic of the Knox of the future.
