‘ALICE SPAULDING, B.D. never-ending source of delight and spiritual benefit is Miss Torrey to all who come into her classes. Miss Spaulding by her sweet and true character leads many into a deeper appre- ciation of the Word. Mr. Lindsay is a friend of the right sort—one who can see and enjoy a humorous situation, and who spurs his stu- dents on to accomplishments. Dr. Free, with boundless energy and numerous facts to “con- Evita Torrey, A.B. Tuomas P. Linpsay, A.M. In the steps of the Master. firm and illuminate the statements of the Bible,” teaches with rare grace. There are also two recent newcomers to this Department. Dr. Cleveland, a new friend on our campus, has fitted into a very big niche and filled it amply and well. Last, but need- less to say, not least, is Dr. Edman who by the grace of Christ is heart-warming for us all on the darkest days. Howarp CLEVELAND, Px.D. 23

Lible and Philosophy lany students every day look at the corner- stone in E103—‘For Christ and His King- dom.” What a marvelous aim we as a student body have to motivate our college days. High it is and upward like the stars, and like attain- ment to the stars some of us never even dream of reaching that far. Glorious it is as an aim, but many of us, who heedlessly pass through Wheaton College halls, set our-goals only on a level with our eves. Nevertheless, those five short words .remain our highest goal for all time. How many there are who far from old Blanchard may even this day be lifting their hearts in supplication to God’s mercy for help to strive more whole-heartedly “For Christ and His Kingdom.” God’s goal is indeed high above our heads. The Book says that “we also should walk in newness of life.” Yet we do not walk in our own strength, but in. His. In the Bible Department we strive to main- tain a deep spiritual attitude combined with a high grade of scholarship which is needed so much in these days of severe criticism of all things that are spiritual or Christian in any way. Our aim is to know the Word of God In its various phases, especially with a view to prepare young people for service. a | Henry C. Tutessen, Pu.D. Department Chairman Because we believe that the Word of God is forceful and powerful and wise for every situation in which man finds himself, because we believe the Bible is verily the Word of God living with men, because we believe it is profitable “for correction, for instruction in righteousness’ —for all these reasons, we study it in its entirety and in the original languages. We incorporate with Bibly study the facts of archaeology and anthropology which only bear out in every instance what the Bible gives in its inspired pages. This we believe no matter what men may say, nor how much they may laugh at our faith. During the years God’s faithful servants have stood for those principles which are in- corporated in Wheaton’s motto “For Christ and His Kingdom.” Besides representing these standards in their personal lives in a manner acceptable to God, they have managed to instill in a good many students a desire for knowledge, and, above all, a desire for holi- ness. Dr. Thiessen, head of the Bible Department, is well characterized by a remark overheard in the hall: “He always seems to be quiet, never is hurried.” Dr. Clark, true gentleman and scholar, is a friend worth having.

Paut M. Waraieut, Px.D. Department Chairman Chemistry To the uninitiated, the chemistry student is a very queer individual. The chief character- istics are a pile of books, a slide rule, a sheet of problems, a preoccupied expression, and a slight aroma. The motto of these students may well be, “They also serve who only stand and wait.” “Wait for what?” one might well ask. That Is e€asy—wait for an organic experiment to reflux; wait for the analytical balance to stop swinging; and above all, wait for the stock room to open. Nothing need be said con- cerning the a nticipation of those clever exams Learning by doing. ALBERT O’Brien, Pu.D. Rocer Voskuyr, Pu.D. Donatp BoarpMAN, the profs hand out. Since Dr. Voskuyl has been granted a leave of absence to do work for the government, Dr. Wright and Dr. O’Brien are now holding the fort alone. The most immediate contribution to the war effort is the War Training Courses. At present there are two conducted by Earl Zetterholm, re- search chemist at the Universal Oil Products Company. This fall the students organized the Whea- ton Chemical Society. There are now approxi- mately forty active members who are kept informed of the chemical world. In de-still of the night.
