1 l .l.l.Ll.l.l.l.l.l.l I THE FACULTY i'Hrn1111T!rrIfrl7 AUDET in the teacher of his The Last Classy' portrays beautifully the soul of a teacher and just as poignantly and vividly the soul of a student. All teachers, although they are neither simple nor awkward nor plainly dressed, possess a love of teaching and a love for their students comparable tc that possessed by Daudet's professor of French and all students, in moments of re- trospection are overwhelmed by that same if-only-I-had feeling which tugged at the heart and tightened the throat of the youth- ful pupil. Although every professor of the University of Wichita can find his counterpart in ap- pearance in the business or social world, he is yet of different stuff than most people, his life and eH'orts are motivated by visions and ideals peculiar to the members of his own group. Teachers are members of a group which finds themselves ensalved to the ideal of learning not for learning's sake, but of learning for the sake of better living, for the sake of better, nobler service, for the sake of liner appreciations. Each member of the faculty of the University of WVichita has as his goal the building of his own field, the attainment of some ambition, the consuma- tion of some intricate problem of research but each member has subordinated always and especially during the past year his own interests to those of the building of a Hrm foundation of a great university. So marked was this cooperative spirit that Dr. Yvilliam M. ardine in whom all, both faculty and students, have found an easily followed leader and from whom all have received new stores of ambition and zeal, said of his associates: During the few months that elapsed between the time I was first approached with respect to accepting the presidency of the Municipal University of VVichita and my decision to accept same, I naturally endeavored to learn something Page II about the faculty from various persons in whose judgments and opinions I had con- lidence. On all sides I was told that the faculty of this school would rank favorably with the faculties of the best institutions-not in numbers, perhaps, but in quality and in training. In the brief time I have been working and associating with these men and women, I can say in all sincerity that I believe those statements were well-founded. I have learned that we have many members with Ph. D's, many who have traveled extensively abroad and many of high prestige. I have found them to be a group eager to cooperate in every way in the building of a finer University. In no other field than the one closest home, the actual management of the Univer- sity, has this spirit of cooperation been more splendidly exemplified. Headed, until the coming of President Jardine, by a Board of Deans consisting of Frank A. Neff, Dean of the College of Business Administration, Earl K. I-Iillbrand, Dean of the Graduate School, Lambertus Hekhuis, Dean of the College of Liberal Artsg Leslie B. Sipple, Dean of the College of Education, the faculty has co- operated by a system of committees in the administration of the business of the Uni- versity. This was accomplished by the fol- lowing Administrative Council: the com- mittee on student activities headed by Dean Leslie B. Sippleg the social committee of which Miss Marie Graham is chairman, the library committee which is under the leader- ship of Dr. Lambertus I-Iekhiusg the museum committee which is chairmaned by Dr. Wlalter A. Ver VViebe. Dean Frank A. NeH' is chairman of the curriculum-catalog com- mittee, Miss Alice Isely is chairman of the program for commencement. The committee QConcludea' on Page 153 l M

Board of Regents oNs1s'1'1Ncg of nine prominent business and civic leaders, four of whom are elected by the Board of lfducation, four of whom are elected by the City Commission with the Mayor of Wichita acting as an ex- ohicio member, the Board of Regents of the University of Wicliita, by actively directing the business and forming the policies of the University, has contributed much toward the building of a greater institution. VVhen the leadership of the l'niversity was in the hands of the Board of Deans, the Board of Regents cooperated in every way in assisting them with the administration of the business of the l'niversity, and with the coming of President William M. ardine they have continued to assist in the capacity of advisors and directors. Mrs. Rene M. Gouldner is chairman of the board. She is assisted by XYinn li. Holmes as vice-chairman, Otto Souders as secretary, Charles Parr as treasurer, and VY. Hcnrion as assistant treasurer. Other members of the Board are -lobn Kirkwood, Carnot Bren- nan, and Dr. Harry XY. Horn. The membership on the Board offlyde N. Smyser, who had been a member of the Board since his appointment in 1926, was terminated in his sudden death, November I. As a member of the Board since the time the l'niversity became a municipal institution in 1923, he had devoted a great amount of his time to the school and its problems. He headed many important committees and took a big part in sponsoring the construc- tion of the Science Hall and Administration Building. Pap Io
