FACULTY During the period of four years, from September, 1948 to June. 1952, the faculty has guided the class of 1952 and has con- tributed to the development of its mental resources. There have been times when some members of our class have been un- responsive and even somewhat antagonistic toward faculty policies, but these same policies are those which have helped us to reach todav this phase of our develop- ment. The faculty has encouraged us in our extra-curricular activities, for it has realized that emphasis upon mere subject matter alone is not sufficient in the building of a wholesome personality. It has been the in- spiration for our preparation for worthy citizenship. Of the one hundred members of this faculty, thirty-seven have their Doctorates. To this faculty, we are grateful, for its time, its effort and its interest. 10
