HUMOR MICKIE CARROLL EDITOR MACK BOWYER BUSINESS MANAGER FOREWORD In this Tenth Edition of The Totem, the Editor and Business Manager not only have made records of the events of this school year, but it has also been the aim of the staff to put in occasional bits of life that will reflect the ten years of tribal history. It is our sincere wish that this book will bring back joyous memories to the present student body, to the Mothers and Dads, and to the members of the Alumni Association of McMurry College. MICKIE CARROLL. MACK BOWYER. EBusiness Jffanager DEDICATION This year marks the Tenth Anniversary of McMurry College. As we slowly turn through the pages of the history of this college, we are made to realize the prog- ress of our school. Ten years of growth has made those of us who have gone through the halls of McMurry proud of her achievements and glad that we have had something to do with the records she is setting. We salute, this our school, and marvel at her strength and courage to carry-on. And may those who follow cherish this idea, and make many other anni- versaries their memorials as this Tenth Anniversary has been to the McMurryites of the last ten years. It is because of her ability to instill ideals of the finest and highest type of young manhood and young womanhood into those who come in contact with McMurry College that we dedicate this tenth edition of The Totem—to the progress she has made in the past and the progress she will make in the future.

OSBORN ADMINISTRATION ■ ADMINISTRATION BUILDING GYMNASIUM HUNT HALL PRESIDENT HALL To the Students of McMurry College: Greetings: McMurry College has completed the tenth year of its work and looks back over an honorable past with satisfaction of work well done and forward to a future that is assured. The year has been one of excellent achievement in the class rooms, in athletics, and in all literary and forensic activities. A student body worthy of our best traditions has carried on. We part with our senior class with profound regret and wish them the best that there is in life and feel confident that they will always be worthy of the high standards of their Alma Mater.

This ela was the l« .itlin class in school in studies, in sports, in social life, and in carrying on for McMurry. We had several good times the first semester, especially on “guest nights. when several mernl ers of other classes enjoyed our picnics with us. We tried to entertain the Seniors the second semester with the Junior-Senior Banquet. nd, from all appearances and reports, we were successful. Then. too. tin- Junior Class had a great year in the athletic field. A large numl er of the hoys played on the football, basketball, and tennis teams. We also had a strong play- ground ball team. In a scholarly way. we had five of our class elected to membership in the James inford Hunt Scholarship Society , making the Junior Class felt in another of McMurry' activities.

We were here to have a good t ine and we didn't care who knew it. even though the upperclassmen did not think we had acted properly, and thoughtfully enough told us about it. Any- way. we started the school year off right hy creating a little class rivalry. And. oh yeah, we tried our first picnic. And was it a success! Well, just ask Wischkaemper for particulars: it was thought for a lime that all the upperclassmen in school had found that we were having our first secret picnic at the West Texas Utilities Pier and had visited us. At an rate, we showed the higher-ups that we were good sports. I almost forgot to tell you that Dan Dodson had to walk hack from the other side of A. C. C. for being our sponsor —at least, that's what the upperclassmen said. 1 don't know! Su Carroll, our secretary, never arrived at the picnic so it was quite a hit quieter than anyone thought it would he. 1 have just gotta tell you about the time Miss Duker stopped a regular gang fight during the Chapel period. The Upperclassmen decided that they could have some fun if they had just a tiny hit of class rivalry, so we obliged them and almost had them whipped when Miss Luker said we had had enough. Theie is only one more outstanding event that I must tell you about and this happened just a few days ago. When we discovered that it was our time to paint the sign at Baird, we were very glad to do so. We fixed up a lot of good, wholesome sandwiches, got some lime, and started to Baird. When we got there we found that some enterprising young person had relieved us of our food. But Mr. Freeman was nice to us and fed us at the dormitory later that night. Su Carroll says she saw the sandwiches at a party later that night. So she should w'orry! We have to he funny even when we are serious, so we’ll just let you fill in the small gaps in this history. An Upperclassman’s comment: This Freshman Reporter must have thought that the upperclassmen were not much of a job to handle. You should hear the other side for the real particulars. But then. Fish will l� e Fish, and have to have things their way.

The veil of formality was lifted as each group entered the banquet hall and a good old-fashioned get-together was held. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself and declared that the program and setting had made this one of the most interesting Junior-Senior banquets in the history of McMurry, and a feature of the social program for 1932-33.

JoHNSO.N Full FOOTBALL McMURRY 3 vs. A. C. C. 0 On October 6. a high spirited and hard fighting trihe «� f Indian Warriors climaxed a glorious Home- coming Day by lifting the scalp of a stubborn A. C. C. Wildcat. This was the first game of the season and was played under the candle-light of Parramore Field befoie a large crowd from both schools. Both teams opened the game with an aerial attack and lost the ball on intercepted passes. The first half was evenly fought with McM having an ad- vantage in yards gained. Bell and McKenzie caught passes for first down, but the A. C. C. goal line was not seriously threatened. In the third quarter. Foster ran 38 yards placing the ball in A. C. C. territory. The Wildcats brought the ball back to the McM 20 yard line as the quarter ended. The Indians drove the ball to the A. C. C. 15 vard line but failed to score. Late in the fourth quarter, the ball was again on the 15 yard line and F. Smith dropped back and place kicked a field- goal for the victory.

M« Ml RIO I� vs. CANYON 19 The lumltering Canyon Buffaloes carne down out of the plains and lieat the Indians by a score of 19-0. A heavy field with a big weight advantage given to the teachers held the charges of the Med- leymen in check most of the game. Early in the first quarter the Indians rushed the hall to the Buffs I yard line hut were unable to score. The Canyon team had thing their way and scored a touchdown in each of the last three periods. McMIRRY 0 vs. RANGER JR. 0 The McMurry Indians were held to a scoreles tie by the strong Ranger Junior College club on their own field. The Braves outplayed their Junior College op- ponent throughout the game, making 17 first downs to 7 for the opposition, hut in this the Indians seemed to he hard up for scoring play . Ui-sTia Bm.l 8� v«niy-� «ven McMl'RRY 0 vs. EAST TEXAS 13 On a rampage for new meal ihe Indians invaded the den of the East Texas Lions. Ii was a very slow game being played on a sea of mini during a downpour of rain. Both teams fumbled contin- ually due to the slippery ball. East Texas scored in the first and fourth quarters. The Indians made three mighty (Ilives but lost the ball near ibe goal line each time. No apology is made for the results of the game. In fact, the men arc to be congratulated on the wonderful fighting spirit that they porlruyed. The game was hard, and both teams played well and demonstrated a fighting spirit of good sportsman- ship. McMtIRRY 13 vs. DANIEL BAKER 0 The McMurry Indians rose to the heights against the Daniel Baker Hill Billies and handed them a 13-0 defeat. This ran the string of victories to four straight over the Billies and ruined their home- coming. Only one serious threat was made on the Mc- Murry goal. when, in the opening minutes of the game, the Daniel Baker boys drove to the 7 yard line where they were stopped by the Indian line. Daniel Baker reached the Indian 25 yard line once again in the first quarter. The Braves opened up in the second canto with passes and off-tackle plays which ended with Mc- Kenzie plunging over for a touchdown. Try for point failed, and the score at the half was 6-0.

A sleepy referre failed to count a touchdown made by the Braves a� they marched 78 yards with the ball. Only the stubborn fight of the Braves kept the game from being a runaway. ftOHEHT CrilRY End uniftN Neely Tackle Conn� : Smith JSuvrnty-nine BASKKTBAI.I Johnston Guard McMurry’s fighting Indians proved their mettle by sharing second place in the Texas Conference Basket ha 11 race. Disregarding a weak start the Tribe played a In-tier brand of hall than any other team in the circuit. This being McMurry’s first year in Texas Conference competition, it is a credit to the school that they won second place and were the only aggregation to win eight consecutive games. The season started with a bitter taste of defeat for the Indians suffered at the hands of A. C. C. F. Smith starred for the home club, but there was too much Reynolds as the Reservation boys went home with the short end of a 38-34 score. This was an overtime game. In the second game the Indians came from be- ll nd in the last three minutes to past- Austin Col- lege 39-34. Curry and F. Smith played well for the Buckskins while B. Smith was the mainstay for the Kangaroos. McMurry’s team next journeyed to Brownwood for a series with the institutions there. They were defeated by a veteran Yellow Jacket five at the Howard Payne gym by a score of -41-28. The following night the Indians were unable to find the basket against u smooth working Hill-billy team. This setto ended 32-25. Back on their own hardwood, the Tribe started clicking and lifted the scalp of a fighting Pirate for their second win of the season. Taylor and Newton looked good for the visitors while F. Smith. McKenzie, and P. Smith were the stars for Mc- Murry. The Saints came to the Reservation and received their due scalping of 42-17. The Indians went to Georgetown and in one of the fastest games of the season bested the Pirates for the second time 37-20. On their way home, the team stopped in Austin and handed St. Kdwards McKcn h: Center P. Smith Guard Mighty another defeat. This vva .« hard game as both eluhs fell hark on the defence.

This game was parked with thrills as the -sore w.i rlose through- out the ent;re contest. At the end of the regular playing period the count was tied at 33-33.

Throughout its career it has brought back honorable mentions and prizes from the contest of the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association. Beginning its publication in 1924 under the gifted editorship of John H. Knox, the Galleon has pro- gressed to its present place in the life on the campus. The purpose of the magazine is to print short studies, essays, poems, one-act plays, and book re- views that are the original work of the students and thereby further creative literature on the campus. The Galleon was successfully edited by Kath- eryne Simpson of Abilene, and Floyd Marshall, busi- ness manager, of Lohn.

MURRY INDIAN BAND Reorganization of the McMurry Band marked one of the “red-letter” events on McMurry’s campus. Twelve members com- posed the first group under the direction of Dr. J. K. G. Silvey, head of the Science department. The band followed the Warriors on all of their encounters, helping spur those Indians on to more victories. The band gave several out of town concerts and many college performances, all of which brought laurels to the organization. Many delightful picnics and socials were given throughout the year. As a climax to the year’s work, the band represented Mc- Murry College in the Knight Templar Convention Parade held in Abilene, April 25, 1933.

It is com- posed of all the fellows who are studying for the ministry. 1932- 33 has been a great year for the Forum. Not only has it offered to the boys an opportunity for Christian fellowship, but as an organization has always stood ready to offer service to God and man wherever it has been possible. The Forum has had its mem- bers in the pulpits of absent pastors and in the pulpits of rural churches which have no regular pastors. The Forum has organized a Mission in the city, with a stu- dent as its pastor. One member has held three revivals in nearby communities with great results. Members of the Forum will have preached over four hundred sermons by the time school is out. Inspirational messages are heard from members, or from visiting preachers, each Friday evening in the Forum’s regular meetings. Dr. B. W. Dodson is sponsor of the organization.

The Life Service Hand was organized in 1923, the year that McMurry was opened. The young people of the organization have banded them- selves together for the purpose of studying the problems of the young Christian worker and of helping one another with their difficulties. This organization affords a source of activity to those who have not found other fields of service. It is a source of power to the Christian worker, and a source of inspiration to the student who has not made a definite decision in his own life. The Life Service Band numbers twenty-eight members. The Life Service Band is behind the college in its endeavors, and it harbors a sincere desire to humbly but definitely contribute to the progress and highest interests of McMurry College. It is its constant purpose to function and ever be led by its motto, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Its function is suggestive of its name: to leach the Lav members of ihe church their duties and responsibilities. Each Wednesday night an interesting and helpful program is given, either by its members or by specially chosen speakers, carrying out the theme of the purpose of the club: to impress upon the memlters their Christian responsibilities. A most successful year was experienced. The club sent three of its members to the Wesley Foundation meet at Lubbock, in the late fall. Pres. J. W. Hunt. Dr. B. W. Dodson. Mr. Baker. Mr. Flores and others gave interesting talks from time to time.

This hand was first organized in 1928. and one of its first presidents. Miss Fredda Morton, was consecrated at latuisville. Kentucky. March 20. and will Ik sent out as a rural worker. This year. Miss Yernie Newman, the sponsor, suggested that the hand study the life of women of other nations. This suggestion was heartily received, and the hand has been inspired by the study and has realized that womanhood has only come into its own where Christianity has permeated the nation. Each memlier secured the name of a missionary in one of the foreign lands and wrote to her asking for information regarding her work among the women of that nation. Several interesting and instructive letters have been received. Outside of the regular weekly meetings, the hand has assisted in Mission work in the city of Abilene, by teaching classes, donating literature and money and has given programs in various homes and for the missionary societies of the l« cal churches.

Vice President: Dick Mar- shall. Secretary-Treasurer; and (). B. Stanley, reporter. This group organized as a medical club to study the medical conditions in and around the city of Abilene and for their interest in science. Each memlier is taking at least two advanced courses in science to meet the requirements to enter medical school. Regular meetings were held each week and interesting problems in science were brought up and discussed. Several parties were sponsored throughout the year. The high-light of the year was a trip to Dallas made by four of the members and Dr. Silvey. Baylor Medical School was visited as well as the Clinic and two of the Dallas Hospitals. The group was entertained by the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity while in Dallas. Several new members were voted into the organization during the last term and the Medical Association proved to In? very successful during the year. It is the hope that this club will be continued during the future years as it is beneficial to students planning to study medicine. One Hundred ART CLUB The Art Club was first organized in 1930 with eight mem- bers under the able direction of Mrs. Ruby McIntosh. The mem- bership has now increased to approximately forty. The purpose of this club is to encourage art appreciation among our students through exhibits of fine examples of art. through lectures, and also study of the space arts. A number of local artists have addressed the club at its regular meetings dur- ing the year. As a climax of the year’s work an exhibit was given of the best work of each student which included charcoal drawing, water colors, pencil renderings, canvasses, original designs applied on leather, wall hangings, tea tiles, and other practical articles. Soap carved models, clay models, posters, batiks and dish gardens have also engaged the attention of the club members. Dnr Hundred Otic C KKOM.

Miss Julia Luker, sponsor of the club, offers each year a miniature loving cup for the most inter- esting theme written on the year’s work. The $5 which usually goes for this purpose was this year applied on the fund for the shrubbery which was planted on the east side of the Administra- tion Building as a Founders’ Day Gift.

Alpha Theta Nu is commonly known as Philo which means love or friendship. The cluh has tried hard to live up to the name and administer the feeling of friendliness by its members. The cluh has done some very interesting work this year. At the l� eginning of this school year, the member sold Christmas cards, tallies, and stationery to raise money. They have given three chapel programs. One. a play “Conclusions written by one of the Philo members, another chapel program was characteristic Philo meeting, while the third was a St. Patrick's Day program. They have set several traditions which are carried out each year. One of the traditions is a Hallowe’en party entertaining the whole student body and faculty. This year it was held in the Gym. Another annual affair is the Spring luncheon for the Seniors. It has been a custom in the past that a delegate l e sent to the Sixth District Convention. The Convention this year was held in Midland. The Philos have charge of the Museum and have tried hard to ! eautify the campus around the Museum. This year we have set out red hud� , blue bonnets, and cacti around it.

There were also various picnics. Some of these were open for dates. Others were strictly stag affairs. All were successful events. The great guiding spirits for this year are Professor Joe Humphrey and I)r. J. K. C. Silvey. The organization appreciates their help and support. The proceedings of the meetings are kept secret.

CLATTON I RAT KlfcKSEYl wm cm m mo mLmmm, PROPHECY Katiierysve Simpson October . . . 1958 A. D. ... a calm autumnal day ... the call of Indian Summer in the air . . . Finding no interest in my hooks. I wandered out into a nearby grove of woods to think of times gone by and days of long ago. Treading softly and silently through the mossy woodland. I came suddenly upon a most unusual spectacle. Al- most completely hidden within a clump of vine-clad bushes, in old worn-out Indian sat sketching. His artist's palette was I efore him and I noticed an unusual assort- ment of colors of paints. Silently and quietly he was going about his happy task. But his keen sense of appreciation soon called hi attention to the fact that he was being watched . . . yes. literally gazed at! Turning quickly, he asked in broken words, What do you want? Explaining how I came to be there. I sought his permission to watch him paint, and at length drew from him an explanation of just what he was doing. Twenty-five years ago. twenty-two Indian maidens and biaves met to celebrate their having four successful years in college. Throughout the day, their activities were happy and pleasant. Little did they realize that they were making history. I am painting this picture to immortalize those makers of McMurry traditions. “Yes. I answered, But what part do you play? “I an� the spirit of McMurry, steadily and proudly the answer came. “I came into being thirty-five years ago when McMurry was founded. Now, when the student passenger planes and movable class rooms loom up about me, I must escape to the hills and woods and reflect on the Class of '33, who give friendliness, ability, interest, and scholarship to the traditions of the memorable school ‘way out West.’ Watch while I paint for you the successes made by those twenty-two warrior braves and their maidens. Without knowing how it all took place, I suddenly found myself looking intently into a canvas bearing the portrayal of the careers of my old friends. Looming in the background was the old Administration Building, long since replaced by a new structure. Appearing amid a host of rainbows, bubbles, and sun- beams, were sketches of the old gang. Bill Green, who had been our class president and who had attended the annual homecomings accompanied by his wife for many years after we had finished, finally achieved the greatest dream of his idealistic nature. People had always told him that “he was just a chip off the old block,” and so he had tried to teach school. At length he has become one of the chief cavalry advisors at West Point. Lucile spends her time being a charming hostess to all the handsome young men of the cavalry. It took some time to recognize them as the “old Bill and Lucile of '33, because both were older, of course. Somehow we had never expected Lucile to grow old. But her hair was a lovely silver and she stood austere and inviting in the drawing room of Captain and Mrs. Green’s home. One Hundred Twelve Completely across the United States, on the plains of Western Texas, our book- keeper. Will Morris, rides across the hroad expansive prairies, herding his great num- bers of cattle. Listen! What is that? “Your hall of fame is in our hearts. All Hail to Thee!” Just a strain from our Alma Mater. Yes. it’s true. Ranchman Morrris is wasting that sweet baritone on the desert air of Dawson County. In another part of the world, Mexico City to be exact, another unit of the Class holds the limelight. It's not a student this time, but the best friend that any group of young college graduates ever had . . . Miss Myatt. In her own characteristic graceful way. Miss Myall is presiding over the American senoritas who come to the University of Mexico to master the technique of Spanish. But what is this? A royal court . . . beautiful music . . . lovely women ... a gayly bedecked scene. Men and women laugh and dance. Surely there is someone here that we know. There’s a familiar face. Why it is Irvin Clayton. He is the American Ambassador to Spain. And who would ever suspect that he was the same timid, shy Irvin that used to court the girls on the sly? “Blood will tell is an old axiom but true. Such is the case in the instance we are about to relate. Annie Ruth wanted to sew and cook hut she was destined to follow in the footsteps of her family and Ire a most extraordinary good journalist. Dashing hither, thither, and yon for news stories and feature articles. Annie played at keeping house and at the same time held up the Eastus standard. Burnice Ramsey, that sturdy scholar who was hound to make good, found success just around the corner. Soon after she left McMuirv, he became an instructor in Sociology at Scarritt College in Nashville, Tmm. So greath was she appreciated by her students for her enthusiasm and kindness that she soon grew to be the “pet instructor on the campus. “Hold that line! Heavens, what a spirit. And coming from a stylish woman of about forty. Upon further investigation we find that it’s old “Lib” Bowyer who mar- ried a famous athletic coach by the name of Smith. We don’t know for sure which Smith it was but anyway he is coach at Oklahoma City High School, and she is still holding up his colors for him in the bleachers, just as she did during their college romance. “Will the gentleman from Montana yield to the gentleman from Texas? Loud, clear and resonant, a voice pealed out above the gavel in the House of Representa- tives. The Speaker, no other than William Hardy “Billy Wright, has complete sway over his house. We never thought Billy would go out for politics . . . however, he did confess to a dislike for school teaching. Those speech-art classes and the role of villian in the senior play must have given him some valuable experience, because he is certainly a success. Spinning through the great open spaces at a rapid speed, Lola Mae Smith and her husband fly in their Silver Wing. Some years after receiving her degree from McMurry, Lela Mae became the blushing bride of a noted speed demon and she now spends her life being hurled joyously and rapidly around the world.

She holds her admirers spellbound with her grace and charm. Maturity makes her even more lovely. And her husband, from his look-out behind stage, is satisfied to be known as “Mr. Hefley” . . . the noted violinist’s husband. Haile Daniel always had two favorite past-times . . . farming, and chewing tobacco. After a colorful career as a football coach, Haile is settled down to his past-times. Wielding a strong rod and dictating the laws of a school system at the same time, Frank M. Lawlis, matured and bold, marches on to the tune of success as the super- intendent of the Wichita Kansas Public Schools. Lawlis has for his pet department, the Spanish department, and he frequently visits the section to see if it is being done right. Riding a bicycle over India is not Evelyn Darden’s hobby . .. but her most pleas- ant duty. For she is the industrious member of the class who stayed with a purpose and is a Methodist worker in the foreign fields, going through the country on her bicycle at a good pace. Fannie Cummings tried for a number of years to teach school. Even though she made a successful teacher, she fell it was not her line. Originality, cleverness, and personal beauty caused her to attract the attention of a New York designer. She started studying design in a New York Design School. Her tenacity won for her, in the end. the position of chief advisor to Jean Patou of Pairs, France. Realizing the significance of the radio in the 20th century, Hugh Anthony delved further into the technique of radio announcing. He is now the principal announcer of the A. W. B. C.—Around the World Broadcasting Company. Red’s voice, mellow and deep, fascinates all the world with its appeal. Kitty Yeats, “the pride of Merkel,” spent ten years after leaving McMurry trying to get her feet on the ground. Encouraged by her startling success in the senior play, she went to Hollywood to try the talkies, but she wasn’t happy, so she married a prominent lawyer and persuaded him to move to Weatherford. She has at length settled down to “doing Society.” Because she had real ideals and the stability to stick to a task, Doris Dunn kept up the good work in English. Our Old Indian Artist placed her just beneath the rainbow in his picture, because he felt that she deserved it. After receiving her master’s degree from Columbia, Doris returned to McMurry to help Miss Luker in the English Department and at the same time take unto herself a husband. Who is this stately man . . . wearing a long frock-tail coat and carrying a Bible under his arm? None other than Carl Thomas, going up a picturesque little land to his parsonage home where a gleaming loyal countenance awaits him. The Reverend Carl Thomas has made good and is well liked by all. Velma Sharp knew which side her bread was buttered on, so she kept on teach- ing. Her husband, an up and coming superintendent, wished her to keep the home fires, but Velma liked her profession. And so we see the two of them teaching in a large school system and liking it, too. One Hundred Fourteen Josephine Blain professed to a weakness for preachers before leaving school, we remembered. And to some avail. She joined hands with her choice of the tribe and she is occupied at present in gayly “casting her bread upon the water” from a love-nest near the church . . . entertaining the missionary society and sponsoring the Young People. A room full of scholars with rapt faces bent toward a lecturer ... Do we know any of the scholars? No, perhaps not. But the lecturer? Rex Kendall. He accepted a position in the School of Theology at S. M. U. Dr. Kendall's classes are always crowded and his disciples are especially noted because they absorb his mysterious and unique philosophy of life. Zoma Moody tried for many year? to curb her adventuresome spirit. At length she gave in and married the captain of a merchant marine, with whom she sailed the seven seas of love and happiness. Not so very far from the heart of his picture, the wornout Indian sketched craftily and deftly for some time. Myraids of colors and tones were used. “Why are you using so many colors?” I inquired. “Because. he answered, “I am portraying the success of an individual who has made for herself a fanciful and splendid life.” Soon I saw a lovely country home. It must have been on the banks of the Hudson river. Lovely gardens and flowers are everywhere. “Who lives there?” I asked eagerly. “Do you remember Mickie Carroll? Her real name now is Mrs. Howard I e Miller. Soon after Hollywood was moved to New York, she became an actress with the Paramount Firm. Her devoted husband spends his time filing her fan mail and managing her theatrical business.” Foreign lands, odd-looking people, unusual customs. The Reverend Alsie Henry Carleton accompanied by his protege, Robert Jay, conducts a tour around the world each summer. Our old friend Alsie finds special interest in the Holy land, since his study has centered around that section of the world. Jay likes Persia and China. Mrs. Carleton, a most attractive brunette, likes Paris. So the three of them arc seeing the whole of life. Having completed his picture, the ancient old chieftain, venerable and brave, took up his palette and paints and went back to McMurry, from whence he came with renewed vigor and vitality because of having communed with the Class of '33. r iie Hundred Fifteen CLASS WILL OF 1933 Billy Wright We. the Senior Class of McMurry College of 1933, being of sound health and clothed in our right mind, do hcreh) make our last will and testament in which we bequeath certain things that we know will be of benefit to the faculty and student body. 1.
