Under his direction the octet, the hand, the glee club, and the little symphony have developed into integral parts of campus life. Every Wake Forest man from sophomore enrollees in Psychology 1 to the members of the Philosophy seminar is sooner or later jarred by Dr. Albert C. Reid ' s intellectual thunderbolts, whether out of a 9:40 nap or into a new conception of pragmatism or materialism. To all who come to know him. Dr. Reid is a seeker of truth and foe of intellectual dishonesty. Dr. 0. T. Binkley and Dr. J. Allen Easley, keystone men of the religion department, have a definite job to do for Uncle Sam: that of turning out chaplains for the fight- ing forces, as well as furnishing morale builders at home. Hard-luck men of the faculty are Messrs. Walker, Utley, and Greason. who have transferred from the warm, cozy confines of Gore Gymnasium to the windy spaces of Gore Field with ' nary a roof over their heads. Instead of the usual 1-2-up-down of calisthenics. Coach Phil now drills his gym classes to the Hut-two-three- four of the army sergeants. The Wake Forest Law School of 1942-43 might well be called a Remembrance of Things Past. Enrollment and faculty, like those of law schools all over the nation, have plummeted downward until only a fragment of the whole remains. At present, Professors Lake and Tim- berlake, along with Dean Stansbury. comprise the faculty. Dr. N. Y. Gulley was called back from retire- ment at the first of the year and served for a short while. The Reverend Eugene Olive. Dr. C. L. Mackie. and Mr. W. D. Holliday are three guardian spirits of the student body, being respectively the chaplain, the physi- cian, and the building and grounds inspector. 31 ■

1-.M TO THE MODERN language departments falls the dis- tinction cil being the first faculty group in 109 years oi Wake Forest history to go coed. Not one, but three Ladies, were enlisted: Miss Nell Dowtin, teacher of Spanish, and Mrs. W. J. Wyatt, and Dean Lois Johnson. instructors in French. In fact, for a while it seemed dangerously close to becoming completely feminine when Dr. Parcel] ol the French department and Pro- fessor Paul Berry of the German department ltd l for military duly, hut Professor Robert M. Browning re- cuperated from the loss of colleague Berry, and with the hacking ol ping pong champion John Conley, a masculine flavor ol the department was asserted. The school year of L942-43 found Dr. C. C. Pearson and the history department already out of the Social Science Building and busily engaged in their work in the austere atmosphere of the Law Building. The classes, meanwhile, were put on a split-second alternating schedule that fitted with cog-like perfection into die schedule of the Law School. The eontact was so close thai Professor Carlton P. West was suspected of letting occasional references to torts and contracts slip into his lectures, and Professor Clouts and Dr. Stroupe as- sumed more barrister-like attitudes. Even Dr. Rea, who stuck lo his office on Publications Row and held morning, afternoon, and night conferences with most ol die student body, sensed the change. To a student who hesitated just a little loo long over the answer to a question, Dr. Pearson admonished, You cant travel on a freight train in this class, Mr. Davis! Professor Clonts sent his medievalists scurrying lo the library downstairs for the correct spelling and pronounciation of words like Veii and suppositi- tious. ntl Dr. Stroupe ' s History 1 sophomores for the first time in many a day refrained from crushing cigarette hulls on die highly oiled floors, but placed them decor- ously in die ash trays on die ends of the table. ■ ll i Dawes Parcell, M.A., Ph.D..

Mrs. Crittenden is ably backed up by Miss Ellen Ewing, Mrs. Nancy Harris, and Mrs. Kent Barbee, who re- placed Miss Holding. In contrast to the heavy traffic in the general library, the law library is a quiet and unfrequented place, so quiet that the librarian, the runner Miss Valeria Fuller, took time out this year to become Mrs. Owensbv.

Through their capable hands pulses the lile stream ol ake Forest — the enrollment, the payments, the grades, the official with- drawals, and the applications for degrees. Theirs are the hands that swing the pendulum of our academic lives. Down in the infirmary, the quiet dignity of Mi-- Eva au-r ' s daily routine lias been disrupted by the rapid-fire wisecracking of an Army sergeant. In addition to their duties of keeping the students shipshape. Miss Vause and Mi-s Jackson, with the help of the sergeant, have bad to assume the job of chasing the colds and fevers ol the Finance men. The biggest influence in the everyday life oi any student is the college library. In addition to the ever-present term papers and parallel reports, there is in the library an opportunity for enjoy- able reading and short, low-toned conversations. To Mrs. Ethel Crittenden, college librarian, is due much credit for the way in which she has carried on and expanded the library, even though hampered by constant changes in personnel as NYA helpers 32 .Mrs. Valeria Fuller Owensbv.
