FACULTY T has been wisely for unwiselyj said that a college faculty should rank as one of Carlyle's Eternal Verities. Be that as it may, it is an unquestioned truism that one of the greatest advantages of the small college is the opportunity it ofltrs for close partnership between professor and student. It is our priv- ilege at Scripps to develop and maintain close Hiendships' with our teachers, who so often term themselves Hftllow-students. Dr. Ernest Iaqua occupies the comprehensive oftice of presi- dential patriarch, provider, guide and mentor for his college. I-le is ably assisted by Miss Evelyn Kay, his secretary. Dean Isabel Smith, aided by Bambi the Chow, administers the more intimate details of our communal lift. Her whole-hearted co- operation with our Student Government, has been supple- mented by her activities as mediator between the Administra- tion and the Student Body. Her willing amanuensis, Miss Ioan Rudisell, is responsible for much of the careful detail work of the office. Filling out the administrative mechanism, Miss Marjorie Crouch and Mrs. Charlotte Duniway complete the staff: Miss Crouch, as Registrar, possesses the enviable reputation of know- ing more about Scripps than Scripps does. Mrs. Duniway, as ulnformationn and publicity writer, manages six telephones simultaneously with a pracfticed hand. Miss Dorothy Kuebler, director of the halls, provides for our domestic affairs. William S. Ament heads the English department. With a long record of graduate study, executive and professional work behind him, he conduits three-fourths of the college com- mittees and semester courses as well. He is assisted by Paul S Havens, Waldo H. Dunn, and Miss Ruth George. Working in close coordination with the English department, I-I. B. Alexander heads the philosophy department. I-l. P 9 I

This service has grown with the develop- ment of the cultural life of the college and now fills an indispens- able place in campus life. A short prayer service and inspirational talks by Mr. Darr, assisted occasionally by members of the faculty or guest speakers, offer a quiet half hour at the end of the day. The spirit of the service is enhanced by having attend- ance voluntary. The choir is an integral part of vespers under the direction of Mrs. Stauffacher. The group has developed this year and has been active outside of vesper services.
