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.

‘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

Hawtey Taytor, Px.D. Department Chairman Physics Today physics is receiving more promi- nence than ever before. In America we have about seven hundred able physicists, yet we should have four thousand. In mechanized war physicists must be trained; London was saved from annihilation by a group of them. As Wheaton College realizes this challenge, the Physics Department is larger than ever betorese hem class sine General Physics? has doubled. More student courses have been added, in addition to four night courses or- ganized under the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training. King eyes the amps. Pau E. Staniey, Pu.D. FANNIE Boyce, Pu.D. Research is being carried on by Dr. Taylor, who is working in the field of acoustics. He feels that his work is going to bear fruit in the near future. Assistant Professor Dr. Paul E. Stanley, is best known for his ability in the field of radio. This is his specialty though he does teach other subjects in the Department. Dr. Boyce and Miss Brandt are our mathe- maticians. Such courses are requisites for study in physics and are receiving much more intensified interest in this world of war. New- comers to the Department are Mrs. Fletcher, Mr. Winsor, and Miss Ogburn. Reppie tinkers with his toy. ANGELINE BrAnpt, A.M.
