History and Social Science A favorite slogan of bygone years was: “Go west, young man, go west.’ Yet many Wheaton students turn their eves in the opposite direction and plod slowly onward in the east end of Blanchard Hall. These travelers on social-science high- way find a bit of difficulty trying to keep up with ever-chang- ing conditions. Fortunately a competent organization of guides has been provided.

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.

Chief guide is Dr. S. Richey Kamm who has a delightful habit of soaking up information like a sponge and then squeezing out droplets for his students to absorb. Assisting him through historical territory are Dr. Edman, “beloved prexy,” Dr. Moule, who holds aloft the banner of the British Empire, and the efficient Miss Voget. In these days of world unrest perhaps the top historical course is the famous 404 or Great Powers taught by the venerable Dr. Tiffany. Leading students over rough economic trails are Mr. Lane, a former government economist, Mr. Jolley, whose ability as songleader is revealed in classroom devotions, and Mr. Winsor, a teacher, turned missionary, turned teacher again. Yes, the Department of History and Social Science has a necessary place in the war effort. Not only does it give the student background with which he may properly evaluate present world situations and trends, but it offers basic train- ing in preparation for life’s work.
