Dr. John Chellevold, Dean of Faculty Faculty Stimulating Pursuit of Knowledge The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit. This is truly the objective, of each faculty mem- ber here at Wartburg. Fifty of the instructors hold full-time positions two share a part-time schedule,- two work as private instructors,- and the remaining two main- tain a leave of absence. Three faculty members were this year promoted. Mr. Robert G. Smith was ranked as assistant professor of speech, Mrs. Florence Hertlein became assistant professor of political science,- and Dr. Leo Petri was ranked as full professor of biology. Seven new members of the faculty include Miss Mary E. Anders, piano instructor, Mr. John W. Jewell, instructor of biology and chemistry, Mr. Thomas O. Kay, history and political science instructor, Mr. Ronald R. Ryder, instructor of biology. Dr. Edilberto K. Tiempo, associate professor of English, Dr. Lotus Knief, assistant professor of psychology, and Mr. Vernon A. C. Lestrud, speech and drama instructor. Many facilities have also been added to the campus. New offices and a mimeograph room in Luther Hall are but a few of the improvements that have made for greater efficiency. Page 13

BOB MILLER KEEPS up on world affairs in the library reading room. MEMBERS OF A freshman history class show varying de- grees of interest as they watch slides during a make-up session. Philosophy is one thing, and Christianitv quite another. -- The former seeks to cure the vices of human nature by working up on the head; the latter, by educating the heart. -- Both endeavor to lead men to what is right,- but philosophy only explains what it is right to do, while Christianity undertakes to make men dis- posed to do it. -- The relationship between religion and phi- losophy exists through subject matter, methods, initial assumptions, and goal sought. This repre- sents, in part, the Christianity Department. Whether one hears inspiring speakers in the chapel, at convocation, or in the classroom, or engages in private counseling, he becomes mindful of the spiritual satisfaction and guid- ance that he can obtain. Yes, this division strives to bring us closer to God, to the truth, and to an understanding of the relationship between the courses we take and the goals that we ultimately seek.
