Mr. Kunz in- structed courses in the civilization and philosophy of India. ln the field of political science there were various changes and additions to the de- partment.

Knox College faculty members were a Very versatile and hard-working group gf in- dividuals this year. Not only did they carry the teaching loads of their usual depart- mental classes, but they also branched out into other fields and taught courses which had been entirely out of their domain in previous years. This all, of course, required a great deal of extra time and work. In the English department Mr. Sherwin, Mrs. Glidden, and Mrs. Wilson taught mili- tary English to the air corps cadets, in addi- tion to their regular college English classes. Mr. Beauchamp did not instruct in English at all this year but devoted his entire time to the teaching of physics to the air cadets.

I-le also helped in the army program by teach- ing military English to the cadets. As a whole, fewer students studied foreign languages than in former years.
