FACULTY Here are the faculty, whose faces we see every day in class and whose pictures we will enjoy loolcing at in future years. The faculty whose consistent and compassionate efforts we seldom appreciate until years after. Then more fully than in the occasional recognition of the now, we will remember the truly strong character, the wise counsel, the extraordinary grasp of human affairs and the Christian example of our professors. Then, they will seem not more merely the watchful ogres who assign mountains of worlc for us to do, instead, they will be recognized and revered as the helpful guides who challenged us to wider horizons of lcnowledge and insight, who encouraged us when we were discouraged and rewarded us when we succeeded. Certainly no one would prefer a mere tape recording education to that which we receive in the halls of North Central. The ever present friendship of the faculty personalities helps to graduate from North Central College-not wallcing encyclopedias, but wise Christian young people.

Zin illiemnriam A Canadian, Professor Domm was educated at the University of Toronto, where he was an honor student. He then completed histraining at the Evangel- ical Theological Seminary in Naperville and returned to Canada to preach. Within a short time he was asked to be the professor of Latin at what is now North Central College. He taught philosophy for a time and was then placed in charge of the Bible and Religious Education department, a position which he held until shortly before his retirement, when, by action of the Board of Trustees, he was removed from the teaching position and placed in charge of the personnel department. His death in the summer of 1950 followed a severe and lingering illness. He was accused of being too liberal, as are many great men. An excellent scholar with a keen and analytical mind, he felt a driving necessity to be true to fact and teaching-to dispell the illusions clouding the thinking about Christ and to raise the religious thinking of the students to a higher and more comprehensive level-to erase the emotional thinking and to introduce people to a more learned attitude as regards their beliefs. He was widely recognized for his ability in his field, and maintained a standard of scholarship throughout his career that could not fail to be an example to his fellow men. 14
