Glassfwom ' Three of Thiel's most popular professors are caught off-guard as they sit in faculty row at chapel. The in- formality of Greenville Hall is mirrored in this shot of Bracldy and Speeder in Btaddy's office. Even in the main office, the faculty waits its turn. We ride to and from school with our professors, and Mr. Funk daily drives the Sigs home at noon. Not every school has a faculty which permits kibitzing as they work with students, but at Thiel Bob Reicharrl watches while Miss Murray and Herky prepare the chapel music. The faculty does have a separate mail-box. We meet in small classes and enjoy personalized teaching by a friendly teacher. And in lab we work together always. One of the best examples of the spirit of friendliness is found in the informal spirit of our class- rooms, in the give and take, the comradely relationships between students and faculty in classes, in labs, in extra-curricular activities, and in sports. Thiel has achieved an unusual and ideal relationship, which it is hoped will be remembered as these pages are read. Thiel's classes are informal and friendly. Students who work and play with their professors, who know them well in everyday life find their classes, their lectures, their labs enriched by this in- timate daily contact. - Thiel students early learn that faculty homes and friendship are open to them. They ride and walk to school with the faculty. They read and talk with the faculty. Faculty members take an active interest in college social and athletic activities. lntra-mural sports are never without faculty spectators and frequently faculty members call the bases or act as linemen. Most important of all, students find the faculty members really interested in their personal problems. The students appreciate the pleasure and privilege of close association with the fine minds and personalities of Thiel's faculty. They are a vital factor in the development of mature, integrated in- tellects and personalities.
