6 ICHITA is known throughout the country as a beautiful city. Shade-covered streets, line lawns, beautiful homes all combine with the large park system of the city to present a pleasing appearance to the visitor. The University of Wicliita also attracts the attention of those visiting the city. Situated on the highest spot in town, the University overlooks the surrounding country. An excellent view of the beauties of Wichitzi as well as its industries may be had from the University grounds. Landscaping of the entire campus is now in progress and soon the University will be one of the beauty spots of the Southwest. The Arkansas River winds through the city offering opportunity for boating and canoeing as well as enhancing the scenic value of Wicliita. The various beauty spots of the city leave the visitor with an impression of the culture of its people. Thus both the Municipal Uni- versity of Wichita and the City of Wichita combine to form a step toward a higher civilization.

This year the University welcomed a large group of men and women to their first year on its teaching staff. Byron Cooper came to Wichita as an instructor in geology. Another instructor in geology, Robert Rigg, joined the faculty last fall. Early in the second semester Mr. Rigg resigned from the faculty in order that he might accept a position with an oil company in the Near East. He was replaced by Stewart H. Folk, a University of Iowa graduate. Two new members were added to the English department last autumn. They are Lucille M. Gos- sett, instructor, and Frank Nelson. Helen Hanson, laboratory assistant in botany, and Glen Moss, laboratory assistant in Zoology, appeared on the staff for the first time. Mrs. Hildegarde Lewis, who is well known as a dance teacher and choregrapher, became an assistant in the women's physical education department. Harry I. Marr, line coach, and Dr. Lawrence Rarick, assist- ant professor, were added to the men's physical edu- cation department. Each of the new faculty members has received and will continue to receive guidance and support from the deans of the University.
