The head of the department of POLITICAL SCIENCE, Dr. Elmer draper also holds the position of Director of the Institute of Local Government. Closely allied to Political Science is the department of MILITARY SCIENCE, headed by Col. Holland L. Robb. This department is especially important in these days of national crisis, and now as the Mid-century year passes, the next fifty years will be greatly influenced by the military and tactical geniuses of the world. Buell B. Whitehill, Jr., head of the department of SPEECH, possesses a special brand of humor which pleases his students considerably. His Wisconsin farm and horses share the attention of Dr. M. C.
