; the Heart of the College WAIT HALL The new Wait Hall, rebuilt alter the century-old unc burned in the middle 1930 ' s, is among the most distinguished of the campus buildings, from the stand- point of both architectural dignity and tradition. In it are located most of the administrative offices of the College; when we were at a low ebb in number of students during the second World War, it housed the centers of the liberal arts schools (excepting music and religion). The English office was a welcome haven on the mezzanine; at the north end on the first floor were the Latin and Greek offices and classrooms, on the second and third floors were the mathematics offices. On the top floor are still located the depart- ment of psychology and philosophy and the meeting- halls of the Euzelian and the Philomathesian Literary Societies. When the new conditions of stress after the War made a sudden need for expansion, the offices of both Registrar and Bursar ate their way through the walls of the first floor north, devouring the classrooms of Latin and Greek and the Latin office; though Professor Earp still keeps his office there. Professors of education, Memory and Bryan are leaching their courses in the building, and keep offices there. Gene W.

THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES When the Law School came back home to this campus a couple of years ago. the department ol social sciences — history, government, economics, sociology — moved itself bag and baggage from the top flooi oi tin- Library Building into the Social Sciences Building, where it seems settled for a reasonably long stay. This building seems as much a center of the campus as does Wait Hall. Downstairs (with the exception ol one professor ' s office) the College Book Store, the Mono- gram Club room and the publications offices are located. Most of the students, in fact, spend a good deal more time in this than in any other building on the campus. Upstairs one may find the classrooms of the depart- ment — worn with the long usage of time and much learning, surely, but still intact enough to be sat in and taught in. No other building on the campus seems so appropriate for the study of the past — the dark walls and high ceilings well fit ponderous volumes of history and stern floods of fact.

The Bernard Spilman seminar room, furnished with several desks and a large conference table, shelves a fine phi- losophical collection. Here Professors Reid and Helm hold forth through the thick and thin of delicate philosophical discussion and here they guide bewildered students through the labyrinths of psychological analyses. On the floors below, the teachers of French and Spanish hold their classes (shunting German and Greek off to the Music-Religion building). Dean of Women Lois Johnson and Professor of French Harold Parcell, with Instructors Mrs. Sam Tarleton, Mrs. Paul Mabe and Walter Harris, teach a large group of students of French. Miss Nell Dowtin, with Instructors Delgado and Watts, teaches Spanish; while Professor of German O ' Flaherty teaches that subject — irregular verbs and all. Dr. Hubert Poteat ' s classes in Latin are held in this end of the building; he shares an office on the ground floor with Dr. Parcell. L ' pstsirs, on the second floor, are the cubicles in which the other instructors stay between classes. In the rotunda (on the south side) are the offices of Dr. Kitchin, Dean Bryan and Dean Johnson. The changes in Wait Hall are characteristic of the many necessary shifts from one place to another during the last few years on this campus, to make room for the expanded work Myron L.
