Untiring service to others has been the keynote of the 30 years which William E. Johnson, professor of languages, has devoted to Central Missouri State and its students. A gentleman in the true sense of the word, any student feels at home in his classrooms. Consideration, understanding, and patience characterize this man who is a scholar of French and Spanish. A progressive instructor, Professor John- son introduced his own recordings in his French and Spanish classes before this widely-used system was accepted at many other colleges and universities. He uses the modern, oral approach to language, and is presently compiling a dictionary of similar English, French, and Spanish words in order to simplify the study of foreign languages. Professor Johnson has done much study on his own, including three years with private tutors in Paris and Madrid, and six months of travel around the world. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from .Central Missouri State, his Master of Arts degree from George Peabody College for Teachers, and has done addi- tional work at Vanderbilt University. Always willing to step into other fields when needed, he was advisor to the combined Student-RHETOR during the war years.For a number of years until 1957, he also handled publicity for the college. To a man dedicated to his profession and to service to his college, Central Missouri State dedicates thel96ORHETOR. 1 Nw - K ':- 'fyvsfs ' P- wif 1, 1 Fszf.-a5.,+.'..wAe,M6 ., f ,, ,N .21 :fs F R A ff
