Social Studies... Humanities... Science... Students in Division III spend their time exploring the fields of history, psychology, political science, and economics. Favorite topics of discussion among Division III majors are Free Trade and Revolution. No important decisions are made by these men without consulting the leviathan. Courses in English, literature, speech, philosophy, religion, and foreign languages are offered to majors in Division Il. Thus the entire campus is embraced by the influences of Division I[—from the somber depths of the basement of Chapel, to the resonant rafters of third floor Center Hall. Division I majors spend their time pursuing the dark secrets housed in the temple of science. The catacombs of biology, mathe- matics, physics, chemistry, botany, and zoology vie for attention. Stu- dents enrolled in this division are recognizable by a blank stare, ob- structed only by their thick glasses, and a slide rule which hangs from the belt.

Sophists One of the principal drawing cards of Wabash is its distinguished faculty. From Art to Zoology, the sophists of Wabash are one of the few remaining fac- ulties in the country who can trace direct lineage to the early Greek fathers. Pictured below are a few sophists caught by our candid camera in the midst of a speculative discussion. The informal relation between students and faculty was well demonstrated in the new game room, where frequent conferences were held over a game of billiards. Several sophists petitioned the Campus Center Director for office space adjacent to the ping-pong table. Still others had namecards attached to their chairs in the Scarlet Inn. Frequent letters to the Bachelor on the part of many professors proved both enlightening and amusing. Their verbal prowess always helped “clarify” the issues at stake. Professor “Rogge made a timely exit to South America in February, leaving a br ightly g glowing kiln of controversy behind him. Including in tis Sanding many authors and lecturers, most of the faculty are listed in Who's Who. Wabash seniors who have completed their seminars and oral comps give the most striking testimonials of the wit and wisdom of these modern sophists. Plato Bedrick, Socrates Charles, and Aristotle Altizer, engaged in an intellectual discussion. Page 18
