ities Division lectured and led discussion groups in a new course within the Division, The Humanistic Tradition. Responsible for the inception of this course was a committee consisting of Professors Tay- lor, Wa1'd, Kaufmann, Grubbs, Boyers, Capps, and Garvin. Added to the roster of the college this year were twelve new professors. Representing the most radical change was the complete revitalization of theSociol- ogy Department with the addition of Professors George Simpson, Milton Yinger, and Richard R. Myers. Others new to Oberlin included John N. Lapp and Laurence lVilson, Romance Languages, James Rodney Nelson, Economics, Charles W. Carlston, Geology, Charles Murphy, Classics, Ralph Turner, Psychology , Mrs. Bessie Morgan, Physical Education, and Ransom Patrick, Fine Arts. Faculty members on leave included Prof. Roger Shaw, who worked with the U. S. Occupation Govern- ment in Munich as a specialist in higher education, and Prof. Paul Rogers, who acted as resident director of a new school for American students near Mexico City.

As usual, the efforts of various faculty members made possible many performances of high artistic quality, and they themselves performed on many occasions: with the Conservatory Orchestra and A Cappella Choir in the Mendelssohn Festival, in individual recitals in W'arner Concert Hall, and in ensemble groups, One of the most interesting new musical projects of the year was the Opera WVorkshop, a group of graduate and undergraduate musicians who worked during the summer session under the direction of Prof. Daniel Harris to perform parts of several operas. Prof. James Hall and Mr. Richard Murphy widened the range of courses within their departments. Music Appreciation courses now include opera, English and orchestral music, and in History and Criticism of Music, Mr. Mu1'phy directed the Collegium Musicum, a workshop for the studying and playing of old music. Also new this year was a Church Music minor, with courses under Prof. Arthur Poister and Mr. Arnold Blackburn, a faculty newcomer. Other new members of the faculty were: Professors Jack Radunsky, Stefan Krayk, Elizabeth Lasley, Clifford Cook, and Lloyd Linder. Z Dean Graham Rerires After Twenty- Fifue Years as Head of the Schoolef Tfzeafeglr EEPLY felt by the School of Theology will be the loss of its Dean, Thomas W. Graham, who retires at the conclusion of this school year after head- ing the graduate school for twenty-five of the twenty- eight years he has been at Oberlin. The absence of Dean Graham will indeed be a hard gap to fill, for it has been largely through his untiring work that the Theolog has gained the eminence and respect it has today. p Members of the faculty of the school on leave this year were Dr. Clarence H. Hamilton who spent the first semester studying the religions of the people of Mexico intending to incorporate many of these findings into his history of religion courses upon returning to Oberlin. Also on leave was Dr. Herbert G. May who, during the second semester, worked on a committee which is translating a revised standard version of the Old Testament. 13

1 TRO- DUCTORY Community Chest drive held at Severance Hall, at which meeting he was the principal speaker. A loss deeply felt next year by Oberlin will be that of Carl F. Wittke, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. After a decade of service to the college, Dean Wittke will leave at the end of the present school year to assume the position of Dean of the Graduate School of Western Reserve University. Welcomed to the Administrative family in 1948 was Miss Mary Dolliver, distinguished veteran of six years overseas Red Cross Work, who arrived in February to take over the position of Dean of Women Creplac- ing Acting Dean Miss Katharine Von Wenckj and to .4-4fZ77ZL.7Zl..S'Zf7Tl tion Welcomes New Dean Of Women, Bottles Risifzg Costs of Food Ana' S e mziees ' N KEEPING with the nation-wide trend this year, the administration of Oberlin College found itself confronted not only with the multiple problems of the largest enrollment the college had ever registered, but also with a rising spiral of prices to disrupt its already taxed budget, and once again the trustees, upon recommendation, were forced to announce another room-board bill increase because of the incurred oper- ating deficit. The administration found its job diffi- cult, indeed, but carried on with little relief in sight for the coming year. Though only in his second year as administrative head of the college, evidence can already be found of President Stevenson's integration into the college pic- ture in the many changes effected and proposed. The new snack bar, the much needed field house, the work on Finney Chapel, and the array of worthy assembly program speakers all are commendatory examples of projects strongly supported or instigated by him. Aside from the management of the college, the president has willingly accepted other civic duties. Especially noteworthy are his participation in the fourth annual North Central Institute of International Relations held at Antioch College and the Greater Cleveland 12 assume duties comparable to Edward Bosworth's func- tions as Dean of Men.

In addition to their usual teaching activities, which some of them continued here and at other schools during the summer months, they carried on research in their fields and published material enough to fill the oflicial listings pamphlet with many titles, they took part in regional and national meetings and organizations of the professiong they gave talks on all manner of subjects in chapel, for the new YW domestic arts series, and at meetings of campus or- ganizations ranging from the Ladies' Literary Society to the YPSL3 they sponsored a great many student organizations and projects g and many of them, like Prof. Ben W.
