INSTRUCTCRS . ,, ' M .ls Kilim lm' filly 0 7' AL., It would be difficult to find a staff at any college or university to compare with ours at Springfield. These faculty members gear in very satisfactorily with the well- rounded program that Springfield provides. The students have great respect for each member of the staff, not only for their wealth of knowledge, but for their keen interest and desire to share student problems. Besides carrying out their functions as instructors, the staff members actively participate in student affairs. The faculty consists of many persons nationally recognized in their profession who accept community responsibilities in addition to those at the college. This excellent staff of instructors is entitled to o great deal of credit for the high standards maintained here and for the excellent rating which Springfield College has achieved nationally, especially in the field of physical education. 14

Credit must be given where credit is due. lf Spring- field graduates are held in high esteem, some tribute must be paid to those who plan and direct the student's educational program in the seven major fields with which Springfield College is concerned. As Director of Guidance and Personnel Service, Dr. Seth Arsenian has brought Old World wisdom Ultd a long record of instructing and experience to this comparatively new field to which so many Qfdduates are turning. Increasingly, recent graduates and those already established in the field are returning to Springfield for added courses and Masters' Degrees under the astute leadership of Dr. H. Harrison Clarke, Director of Graduate Study, who was a member of the class of 1925 and has been in Teacher Training for 'en years. Dr. David F. DeMarche, Director of Group Work and Community Organization, who came to us in 1946 as professor in Group Work, was made Director In 1947. Coming from the sunny regions of California, he has brought a warm, sympathetic, intelligent Understanding of Group Work Problems to Spring- field College. Because all students at Sringfield are primarily Teachers to various degrees, Dr. Raymond G. Drewry, US Director of Teacher Education is charged with the great responsibility of training and directing two to three hundred potential teachers every year. A long and successful record of teacher training began with acquisition of a Ph. D. from Columbia in 1928. The majority of Springfield graduates are indebted to Dr. Arthur A. Esslinger, Director of Physical Edu- cation, for his demonstrated leadership in this field and for his insistence upon high standards which has brought out the development of a curricula designed to meet the needs of a growing and highly com- petitive field. Dr. Peter V. Karpovitch, Director of Health Educa- tion, and nationally known author and lecturer, and Russia's greatest contribution to Springfield College has' had a long and distinguished record in the field of Health and Physical Education. Experiences as physician, surgeon, research chemist, and professor of Physiology, plus a brilliant and colorful academic record are whole heartedly directed towards the training of Springfield College students. In the comparatively new and rapidly developing field of Recreation and Camping, Springfield is in- deed fortunate to have the nationally recognized, devoted leadership of Charles F. Weckworth. Untiring in his efforts to give his students the benefit of wide, rich, and developing experiences, he has added another cornerstone to the House of the World which Springfield College has begun.
