FACULTY DEPARTMENT HEADS In the control of the heads of departments rests the responsibilities for the work in their fields, and combined they do much toward establishing and organizing the curriculum. Dr. Benjamin F. Stelter heads the English department, one of the oldest and largest. It has long had a standing among educational institutions. Dr. Charles Frederick Lindsley not only directs the work of the speech department, but has a reputation aside from his academic work. The work of the language department and its numerous faculty is all in charge of Dr. H. K. Lowther. Dr. J. P. Young directs the work of the everchanging eco- nomics department. Dr. Osgood Hardy took time from his work as head of the history and political science department this winter to make a special trip for consultation in Washington, D. C. Dr. F. }. Smiley has the responsibility of directing the work of both the geology and the biology departments. The chemistry students of the college come under the authority of Dr. ' E. E. Chandler, and Dr. C. K. Alexander is responsible for the mathematicians. Dr. H. A. Kirkpatrick is head of the department of physics and Dr. Gilbert Brighouse is head of the psychology department. We are very proud of the combined work and results of the five heads of Fowler Hall in the presentation of the Science Open House, with its exhibits and demonstrations. The young and prospective teachers come under the eye of Dr. James H. Sinclair in his capacity as head of the department of educa- tion. Dr. Robert Fitch is the acting head of the department of philosophy and religion, in the absence this year of Dr. Morgan Odell. Dr. J. D. Young is in charge of the excellent work of our continually growing art department. The work of the music department under Dr. Walter E. Hartley has won a reputation of which the college can well be proud because of the excellent training given to young musicians in his department. Hugh S. Lowther Languages James H.

FACULTY Because the upholding of the scholastic stand- ards is ultimately on the shoulders of the facul- ty. Occidental is particularly fortunate in pos- sessing so many men and women of well-earned standing in educational groups. We are es- pecially favored in having the teaching and personality of an economist of the renown of Dr. Broadus Mitchell. We have also enjoyed the experience of meeting and working with Dr. Henry Allen, exchange professor from La- fayette College, at which Dr. Morgan Odell of Occidental spent the year. Dr. Allen has been active in the religion department.
