Administration With the approach of war to the college campus have come new problems and situations to be met by the college administration. All facilities have been made available to the service commands and the momentary arrival of a large army or navy con- tingent to the campus has been expected. Inroads into the staff have been met with a willingness on the part of those remaining to double their loads. Confidence was instilled in the hearts and minds of the members of the student body by the evident calmness of our President and by the continual em- phasis of the administration that long before these affairs were committed into the hands of men they had been brought before God and committed into His hands. His guidance has been evident and His blessing has abounded. Enock C. DyrNEss Vice-President in Academic Administration and Registrar GeorcE V. Kirk Vice-President in Business Admiunistration Paut G.

LEXANDER GricotiA, Px.D. Department Chairman JosepH P. Free, Pu.D. DeWirr W. | JAYNE, Anthropology The history of the human family with its diverse cultures is a study intriguing to the college student. The dissemination of this knowledge is the work of the Department of An- thropology. Here the Christian scholar is rounded out by (=) exploring man of all countries from his origin. How is he made? How does one race differ from another? What has been and what is his culture under various conditions of life? By answering these questions in a thorough manner, the De- partment has done its part in preparing the well-furnished man of tomorrow. Dr. Grigolia, Wheaton’s anthropological encyclopedia, dili- gently gives his blood, sweat, and tests to prepare would-be authorities on the subject. Wheaton students have grown to love and admire the department head for his high scholarship and his radiant Christian life. From wide fields of study and experience in the Pacific basin Dr. Culley has garnered the wealth of material he imparts to his students in physical anthropology. We are proud that our government has seen fit to tap this source of knowledge to help prosecute the war. A member of the reverend clergy, Dr. Free, aided by many feet of movie film presents man’s cultures of the past. Together with Mr. Jayne he studies and explains the many interests of archaeological research. Professor Gerstung is the gentleman Who attempts to systematize and present the study of linguis- tics and phonetics. Beyond the confines of Wheaton campus, study is made in the various neighboring museums and universities. This year, too, has seen more building in the Department’s own museum. Still going forward, these studies continue to take their places in the ranks of Christian scholarship on which rests the hope of our country and world. Clues from the past.
