The English department continued to help many students across the hump of the Eng- lish comprehensive test. In Beecher chapel students were introduced to the Arts and Literature tutoring course by Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Evers joined the English staff this year. It might be noticed that the English depart- ment is the largest in the school. Courses of a wide range are offered to the students, they include freshman English, literature of all types, drama, writing, poetry, and the classics. Knox college and the mathematics depart- ment were sorry to hear that this was the last year on the faculty for a friend and a teacher who has served the college for forty- one years. Miss Heren is indeed a member of the Knox family. She was considered by faculty members and students alike to be one of the finest teachers in the school. Mr. Klimpt, who also taught economics, served as an addition to the math depart- ment. ENGLISH, MATHEMATICS 10

The establishment of the Lincoln Lecture- ship on American Civilization brought some- thing new to the history department this year. This course, designed to acquaint students with the society and culture in which they live, is ably handled by Dr. C. S. Boucher, who is new to the Knox campus. Dr. Boucher was formerly the Chancellor at the University of Nebraska. The economics department in- creased in popularity and as a result two new faculty members were added, Mr. Klimpt and Mr. Shipley. This is Mr. Klimpt's first year of teaching in this country as he just came over from Germany. Besides doing work in the economics department he also taught mathematics. Dr. Elder taught his last year in the philos- ophy department, for Dr. Elder is retiring from Knox. During his long stay at Knox Dr. Elder has served as librarian and taught English, mathematics, and philosophy.

New evidence of the popularity of the modern languages was seen this year, partic- ularly by the increased interest and support of students for the German club and a re- organized French club. A monthly edition of a German paper on the part of German students has contributed to the success of the language department. Many social functions have resulted from time to time in these de- partments including outside spealcers, round table discussions, and moving pictures. A new course was added to the department for the music majors. It is a phonetics course designed to give a thorough foundation of Italian, French, and German diction. Miss Jefferies joined the modern language depart- ment replacing Mrs. Arnold. Bob Russell, a student teacher attending Knox, temporarily replaced Miss Coleman during the winter quarter. Miss Coleman was on a leave of absence due to illness. Above: Miss M. Wilson and Miss Kragness examine a French textg Miss Lindahl and Miss Jefferies in their office.
