As an instructor in English literature, Professor Smyser, as head of the department, is inimitable. After spend- ing his undergraduate days in this university, he served the college as registrar and dean and will always represent the finest of Wes- leyan graduates, administrators, and teach- ers. A graduate of Wesleyan college, Profes- sor Ernest A. Amy has done much to raise the department to the place it now occupies. Miss Ruth Davies ' chief interest is in English 101, while Miss Marie Drennan has gained a wide-spread reputation as a teacher of com- position. Assistant Professor Ben T. Spencer ' s chief field of activity is Shakespeare. In addi- tion to composition, Assistant Professor Rich- ard M. Kain teaches comparative literature, while Miss Ruth E. Fickel is interested in ro- mantic prose and poetry. Assistant Professor Walter L. Simmons came to Ohio Wesleyan in 1931, and Harry E. Wood, Jr., joined the faculty this year to offer journalism.
