Sf|r (£hmirr The Faculty HE FACULTY of our school now numbers forty-seven men and women distinguished for their thorough preparation, for their democratic spirit, and for their loyalty to the school. Among them arc graduates of colleges and universities of the East, of the Middle West, of Canada, and of Germany—a cosmopolitan group with a clear understanding of what the world demands in education. To the uninitiated student the word mathematics sounds cut and dried; but let him enter the department of mathematics and the hazy mathematical atmosphere becomes rarefied. By the clever instructors he is led on and on, and his mind is broadened by the depth and breadth of the subject. A cabinet of four preside over the History and Political Science Department—each one of which is scholarly in his tastes, yet blessed with the admirable quality of common sense. This course is a vital one. The work is partly the tracing out of cause and effect in bygone years and interpreting present day occurrences in the light of conclusions drawn. The faculty of the Training Department exerts a wide and beneficial influence upon all student teachers. The careful guiding influence and kindly critical supervision arc appreciated by all. In this group, cooperation is not only a virtue, but a reality. The Psychology Department is one in which most of our number come in touch. Clearsightedness, definiteness of aim, and attention to details, are the oustanding things for which the two men of distinct personality in this field of work will be remembered. Two capable insructors direct the work in foreign languages. They are both practical men with a wide experience and a thorough preparation for their work. Students in this deaprtment receive a liberal education. The Science Department is one of the strong departments of the school. The diversity of viewpoints, of methods, and of training of the four men in this field, have given to the work its vitality and practicality. There are two members of the faculty with whom every one—faculty members and students alike—come in touch—the librarians. Capability, accuracy, exactness, as well as willingness to aid others, are their admirable qualities. Diversity of gifts, but unity of aim, have the sextet of women in the English Department. No fear of the dreadful thing called feminization when we name over their characteristics—logical acumen, wide vision, insight into students’ needs, and withal a bit of wit to temper the whole. The men of the Industrial Department are marked by their wide practicality, capability, and adaptability. The realization of the acute need of passing these qualities on to students makes this department a strong unit in our school. A quartet of women guide the Art and the Music Departments. Our school is fortunate in having persons of such great cultural attainments in these lines. Page 12
