Faculty EDUCATION FACULT First Ron Mrs Hook, Dr Row: Mr Merchant, Dr. Kattlifte. Since college is priinarily an institution derlicatcd to transmitting knowledge, perhaps the most im- portant asset of anj ' college is its faculty. And Mary Washington is no exception. Under the influence of the faculty the students are able to mature in their ability to think independently as well as to assimilate a vast amount of facts. The students are constantly being introduced to new fields of study, new approaches to subjects, and new ways of thought. Because of the presen- tation by some professor of a particular subject, some students may learn to enjoy a subject which in the past has been distasteful. From the first term papers of the freshmen to the final papers in their majors by the seniors, the faculty provides the helping hand. However, the faculty makes many contributions besides those in the classroom. In the first place, many of them are working to obtain higher degrees for themselves so that they may have even more to offer the students. Manv members of the facultv CHEMISTRY FACULTY.

To the freshmen, for whom college provides so many new experiences and opportunities to make decisions for themselves, this kind of guidance is especially benefieial. At Mary Washington some memhei-s of the faculty serve as liead residents in the dormitories. This year several professors have been helping to coordinate various programs of study which dormitory groujis are pursuing. Professors also help the students to carry on a varied extra-curricular program, serving as advisors to many clubs and organizations. From time to time, groups of the faculty serve as co-ordinating units between the students and the college. From these associations the students are able to think of the faculty in different terms than in the classroom. In view of all these things, it is obvious that because of their many and varieii activities the faculty helps to make lary Washington what it is. SOCIOLOGY F.VCl ' I.TY. Seated: Dr. . ll,-ii.
