Eisenberg, who has worked so untiringly in bringing S. R. S. T. C. to its present high rating among our state colleges and who has spoken so often of the necessity of vision in education, should set as a goal the getting of Ph.D.'s by at least fifty percent of his teaching stall. We are proud of the fact that Dr. Eisenberg's administrative policies and efforts, practical as thev mav be, are always seeking new bournes beyond traditional standards, are ever touched by the idealisiil of the visionary, are ever seeking to realize dreams of educational Utopias. There follows a brief record of the past and present work of a number of the faculty: Mr, Wrigley has written his dissertation for his Ph.D. Dr. Dimit obtained his Ph.D. this spring from Columbia. Mr. Heintzelman has been attending Pitt working toward his Ph.D. Miss Grillin obtained her Master's Degree from Chicago University. EDUCATION Standing: Dr. ldntz, Mr. Welscnfluh, Mr. Wrigley.

But these trees and lawns, these walls and rooms are only the habiliments, the external symbols of intangible forces that have marked the upward march in man's development. Only in the minds and souls of our faculty shall we find the real spirit of Slippery Rock's college, which, reflected in the hearts of ever new student bodies, shall continue to brood over it when all now here have gone. What is it that marks a college so that all may read? Is it not the sum total of the educational ideals its founders have held, the broad vision of its administrators, the wealth in body and spirit and mind possessed by its faculty members? And while on any faculty the dominant attitudes of individuals will be various-cynical, sentimental, materialistic, aesthetic, etc.,-fall must be motivated by desires apart from the purely personal if they are to leave anything of lasting worth behind them. It is the boast of us students and a fact acknowledged elsewhere that our college has one of the best faculties among many institutions. Attempting to explain just what we mean by ben we shall mention F A C U L T Y first thegattainments and present efforts of our faculty members in the field of formal education.
