One ofthe misfortunes, from the point of view of the freshman who likes to bluff his way through a course, is to be placed in an English 1 section under CARY HERBERT CONLEY. After graduating from the University of Michigan, where he was a Slgma Chi, Pro- fessor Conley received his M. A. at -the University of Chicago, then came to Wesleyan in 1913. Distinguished by being the only member of the Wesleyan faculty to drive a Packard, he 1S also one of the chosen few whose text books are used by Wesleyan undergraduates. HOMER EDWARDS WOODBRIDGE received his B. A. from Williams in 1902 and an M. A. and Ph.D. from Harvard. As a summer school instructor he bows to none, having taught in Colorado, North- western, Michigan, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire, and Harvard. This summer he goes to Oregon. For eighteen years he has served Wesleyan's English department. A staunch supporter of the Scrawl- ers Club, an over-worked reviewer of Paint and Powder Club pro- ductions, and owner of a study overflowing with books, papers, and tobacco smoke, he is best known among students for his Shakespeare course. WILBERT SNOW, a 1907 graduate of Bowdoin, has been teaching English here for seventeen years. He has three M. A. degrees, but it is his informal class method, his bull sessions at the Downey House, and his ability at story telling which make him one of the most popular professors. A New England poet of renown, he has pub- lished Marne Coast, The Inner H arbor, Down East, Selected Poems and Before the Wind. Besides teaching, writing, and dabbling in local politics, Professor Snow has five sons, a green touring sedan and a glawackus to look after. thi150LAND MITCHELL-SMITIfI has been teaching at Wesleyan for 1950ee1EYeQ1'S-.HG received h1s B.
