OMB N1 mix YS 04 Ugouaancf Ktfifozcfa qlnaai Vvhen the air in the conference room is still, when the inlq is dry on the plans, after conjecture has hecome written words, then comes the hardest taslc of all, that of doing. That joh falls to the capahle and human staff called a faculty , composed of men and women educated to educate. Men and women educated to educatef' Yet, those six words leave a thousand unsaid, a thousand words telling ot lite courses charted, great Americans sent along the way to their greatness, and this done nine months out of every year hy ninety-one unassuming persons. These help build America in as many thousand ways-yet they would laugh at any- one wishing to give them a medal. All are members ot our community. They pay taxes, worry ahout the drouth, politics, and the war. They know the happiness of Christmas at home and family life. They are a superlatively human group of 1941 Americans. Letys loolc at a few. Nlany of them have lVlaster's degrees from such institutions as 'newer 'rang , I7 Northwestern, Nebraska, Chicago, and Colum- hia. A science teacher laclcs only an intern- ship from heing a doctor of medicine. An instructor in the English department has twice been a state legislator, is on many national educational committees. Once a resident of Paris and an inveterate world traveler, a French instructor is another example of Lin- coln high teaching talent. When past expe- riences are discussed in faculty groups, world. travel is almost a prerequisite for entrance into story-telling. Two faculty memhers have published authoritative hooks on their subjects. A rather startling fact is that many could easily tind high places outside ot the classroom. Why don't they seelc easier and perhaps more remu- nerative fields? Why do they follow one of the most difficult and changing professions? There is only one ohvious answer. They are behind our generation: they want each new group leaving their hands to go prepared to give us new citizens with the greatest chance to make a better life for themselves. MRS. ALBERTA B.
