— Q — THE QUIVER Industrial Arts This department has lately passed its fifth birthday anniversary. Though its life has been quiet and uneventful so far. nevertheless it has been a busy one. One does not have to be an “old grad.” to remember the establishment of the department on a firm basis in 1912, the outgrowth of the older manual training course. In the fall of 1913 the department was installed in its new quarters. From that date on its prosperity began. Even this year, when the draft and the industrial demands have made heavy inroads on the enrollment of all educational institutions, the department has nearly held its own. Up to January, 1918, it has graduated one hundred and nine students. Many are filling high positions in the teaching profession and also in commercial lines. Its graduates are to be found in sixteen states of the Union and in Porto Rico. When the department celebrates its tenth anniversary, may its record be as excellent a one and its growth as healthy as during the past five years. l Hans W. Schmidt Frank M. Karnes A.R.

— B — THE QUIVER Fine Arts May B. Moulton Pratt Institute Art Institute Nellie Adams Smith Chicago Academy of Fine Arts The Oshkosh Normal cannot be said to lack the finer things of life when it has such a splendid corps of workers in the Fine Arts Department. Miss Moulton, Miss Smith, and Miss Cundiff have been with us long enough to know our peculiar needs, and Miss Williams, even though this is only her second year, is rapidly becoming acquainted with them. Miss Moulton, as director of the art work of the training school, and Miss Smith, who teaches drawing to prospective schoolma'ams, as well as design to school-misters, uphold the artistic traditions of the Normal. We arc most familiar with Miss Cundiff as leader of choral singing in general exercises and of the Glee Club, and probably appreciate her most in that capacity. However, she has charge of the academic work also. It is in this part of the work that Miss Williams assists her. Indeed, les beaux arts are well defended by this force of teachers. Who shall say which is mightier—the paint brush or the light-swinging baton ? Hannah M. Cundiff I etroit Conservatory of Music St. Joseph. Mo..

Rose Polytechnic Institute University of Wisconsin University of Indiana Home Economics Every department has been brought to a fuller realization of its importance in the political, social, or economic world because of the present war. In none, however, has this realization been greater than in Home Economics. The present demand and the high cost of the necessities of life make it absolutely necessary that we live scientifically. The fundamentals of life are food, shelter, and clothing. It is under the guidance of Mrs. Bolinger, in the department of Home Economics, that the proper principles and standards of these fundamentals are being developed. The young women who take this course are able to sense deeply what it means to Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Mrs. Grace Baker Bolincer B.S. Lewi InMitute, Chicago Paue 25
