Lindenwood Faculty l 5 DR. Glpsom DR. Hwlm Miss Dxwsotv Miss KOHLSTI'ZlJ'I' DR. Gmane Dn, PARKER M ns. Umnrmwoon Even college students will admit that faculties are an important part of collegiate institutions. To direct learning and to at- tempt to awaken intellectual curiosity is a difficult and, without becoming unduly senti- mental one might say, a rather 11oble task. ln a college such as Lindenwood, the faculty's ability to perform this two-fold task is most important because of the close co-operation between faculty a11d students. Every Linden- wood girl will agree that Li ndenwood's faculty is well-Iitted for its position. The English faculty includes Dean Alice Gipson, Dr. Siegmund Betz, Miss Elizabeth Dawson, Dr. Kate Gregg, and Dr. Alice Parker. Dr. Gipson specializes in the study of the Shakespearean drama. All other mem- bers of the English department have a divi- sion of freslnnen English composition. Dr. Gregg's chief interest is early Ameri- can literature, in which field she has made valuable researches. Dr. Parker and Dr. Betz teach a survey of English literatureg Dr. Betz also directs advanced writing courses. Miss Dawson teaches criticism of children's literature. The vocational division of the English department includes Miss Mildred Kohlstedt, head librarian's class of library science and Mrs. Julia Underwood's class of journalism. Page I4
