We are glad to welcome Professor Furbay back af- ter his leave of absence. With him he brought many new and interesting ideas which have livened up the science department i m- mensely. Professor Bush and Mr. Ritchie have had as their aims the enrichen- ing of the science courses. We compliment them on their success. The gift of the senior class of 1930 — some very fine equipment for the science depart- ment — has done its part to make the courses enjoyable and practical. JOHN H. FURBAY A.M., PH.D. . tt$ 4 EVERETT J. RITCHIE B. $. History and mathematics are still two of the principal courses offered in college. Professor Bram- lett has not forgotten that the true aim of the history department is not only to teach history, but also show his students its relation to present-day world problems. Miss Draper cares for those students who are interested in higher math- ematics. Page Twenty- Six

SUSAN B.GIBSON A.M. GEORGE FENSTERMACHER A.B. Modern languages at Taylor are what they should be. alluring, popular, and profitable. Miss Gibson, with her soft accents, makes France truly a cul- tural subject. Professor Elliott ' s residence in South America and his first-hand knowledge of Spanish may have something to do with the popularity of his clas- s e s. Professor Fenster- macher, besides teaching German capably has time to give violin instruction and to direct our orchestra, string quartets and The Little Symphony. During the middle ages a man who knew Latin and Greek was an educated man. Now we realize that these subjects have an important historical value for us, besides the taste of classical literature they give us. Both Mrs. Jones and Dr. Evans are well versed in their sub- jects. Dr. Evans also serves as registrar. 22 Page Twenty-Five
