Merchant Although one might think that this field is entirely for students who plan to enter the ministry, this is, however, not the case. Since Waynesburg College is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and, since it is required that every student complete eight hours of religious education before graduation, everyone, at some time or other, spends a great deal of time with either Prof. Harry E. Gardner, Dr. Edson, or Mr. Harold L. Merchant. For several years Prof. Gardner and Dr. Edson carried on the work alone but now Mr. Merchant has joined the staff to ease the load, teach- ing Bible to many students. This department works hand in hand with the Parish Proiect, the various pro- fessors helping to direct student religious activities and, since each of these professors is also an ordained minister, conducting services at pastorless churches throughout the immediate district, feeling that the college and church must promote the welfare of the whole community of which they are a part.

Ae l 6l,l I If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty-seconds' worth of distance run -how many minutes have the students of Waynesburg College spent poring over vast volumes in the library which is located on the second fioor of Mill Hall? How many term papers have drawn their origin from the more than 20,000 volumes which grace the shelves there? After all, a great deal of what one learns must necessarily come from the pages written by the authorities and literary men of the world from the time of Plato and Aristotle until the days of Eugene O'Neill and Sinclair Lewis, and it is in the library that we find those sources and benefit from them. Mrs. Orndoff and Mrs. Clovis, assisted by Mrs. Barbara Furtney and student helpers, Helen Sliviak, Mary Matilda Prigg, Eileen Galiley, and Patricia Millheim, work every day, and almost every evening, to accommodate students, and they certainly deserve a world of credit for their kind assistance.
