Above all, the professor was stern, cold, and unapproachable. How different we found it when we entered college! Our previous conceptions of college instructors were erroneous. Instead, we found scholars. Some had written books. Some were authorities in their fields. Others had wide experience which they freely imparted. Most of all, the faculty was friendly. Outside of class, they were just like us. After-class conversations, chats in their offices or in the halls, in- formal talks at organization meetings -they were enjoyable. This institution has often been spoken of as the friendly college. This can be greatly attributed to its friendly faculty. Conrad! Adams Crawford Page 14
