Here Dr. Sullivan taltes SULLIVAN a moment ojjf from the business of registration to survey his fellow faculty workers. Psychology, sociology, theology-the 'ologies from Jewell Hall, where classes meet from 7:50 till 4:00- these professors are featured here. Head of the department of Psychology and Ed- ucation is Dr. B. Sullivan, who acts also in the capa- city of Registrar of the College. He holds his Ph. D. from George Washington University, teaching three classes in freshman Psychology, and classes in Educational Psych., during the regular school year, acting as Dean of the Summer Session in that period. One ofthe youngest members ofthe faculty is George Beamer, instructor in Psychology, who finds time to manage the William Jewell Press as well. Prominent member of the Board of Control of Student Publications, the student newspaper and the yearbook are put out under his supervision. He is a graduate of William Jewell, and now holds a Masters from the University of Missouri. Friendly, possessed of a keen sense of humor, he is one of the better people of the Hill. Associate professor of Education and teacher of the much-talked-of freshman How To Slrfffy course is Thurston Isley, another of the faculty younger set. Known to many who have never taken his courses, through his position as taker of roll in compulsory chapel services, Isley never appears on the chapel stage. Head of the department of Bible is Dr. H. I. Hester, into whose classes every graduate of William Jewell must go to complete three terms of theology as a graduation requirement. Despite the prejudice against required courses, his classes are deemed among the most interest- ing and educational on the Hill. His chapel talks are looked forward to, and many students have found in him an understanding counselor and beloved friend. Professor Walter L. Reppenhagen, voted the most popular chapel speaker last year by the student body poll, is part time instructor and assistant to Dr. Hester in the Bible department. Commuting between his church in Kansas City and the campus here, his frequent appearances on the speakers platform are heralded by admiring stu- dents. Instructor in Economics and teacher of advanced sociology is C. O. Van Dyke, whose return to the campus was not made until school had already ohicially begun, and then was made with the aid of crutches. Injured in an automobile accident on a summer trip in the West, Van Dyke still walks with a cane. Popular with the students because of his htm grasp on world conditions and his clear diagnosis of their various inquiries, his three classes are always well filled. 23

AND ELADLY TEACH So reads the title of Bliss Perry s new best-seller, and no other three words could say more in the characterizing ofthe philosophy ofa true educator. No sacrifice too hundreds of lives each year here on the Hill. But their activities and influences spread far from just the four walls of their classrooms. Each Tuesday at New Ely Hall the faculty gathers for luncheon in the faculty dining room. The faculty wives have frequent luncheons and teas, promoting harmony and good ' feeling in this group. Even on the foggiest days even when the ground is wet, faculty foursomes flock to the Excelsior Springs Golf Course, with competition keen and rivalry even keener. The majority of the faculty members are ardent sup- porters ofthe teams that wear the red and black accom- panying the ewell varsity squads even on their longer trips. Familiar faculty faces may be spotted at the various athletic events on the Hill and at neighboring rival schools. Sorority and fraternity parties are always sponsored by some members from the faculty, who give the students a few lessons in bridge-playing and turning the light-fan- tastic. Teas dances dinners, picnics all these are splen- did opportunities for closer relationship between students and teachers outside the classroom. Choice of the faculty members are the books placed on reserve in the library providing students with multi- tudinous opportunities to keep out a book overtime, with the attached fine of twenty-five cents. Many of these books are personal copies lent graciously by the professors themselves. Several new faces have been added to the' faculty roster in this school year, the vacated places now having all been filled but how long such will be the case is un- certain. Only one of the faculty is away on leave of ab- sence, and she will return to her post in the fall. rwo members have given up their professorships here to fill positions in larger schools, and two have been taken by death in the past y ar.

Elmore had lived his allotted three score and ten years, having spent most of that time in Nebraska and the Middle West. 1 . Not surprised by his death were 1 his innumerable friends here on the J college campus and elsewhere, for he s gl had weakened noticeably in the few 4 months preceding his death, but none- theless shocked were these who had grown to love and respect him dur- ing his seventeen years as head of the Department of Biology. Six of his students bore his coffin into the Second Baptist Church, where he had been for such a long time a deacon, and his faculty associ- ates were the speakers at these last rites. Truly he was a great man and his memory will live long after him. 22 j,2zf 1-was -if 'zgggjg 4 ., , , N,a.a,a .gf Q, any 'ay : , f w . fm ' W ,fm f 4. c f, .V f had hung at half-mast for Dr. Elmore, it was again lowered in tribute to Dr. George Davidson, head of the Mod- ern Language department, who died early in September, 1940. Dr. Davidson had completed the translation of the famed Hubmaier X papers from their original German since his coming to the Hill. He was for a time a teacher at Hardin- Simmons, jewell's sister Baptist col- lege in Abilene, Texas. Graduated Scarcely five months after the flag from johns Hopkins University in 1899, he later took his doctor's degree from the University of Virginia. One of the favorite chapel speakers, Dr. Davidson's continual pacing across the stage gave him an unique place in the catalogs of those who heard him. An avid reader, especi- ally of detective and mystery stories, he owned a large collection of these books. Intellectually powerful, humanly interested in all that went on about him, his will be a hard place to fill.

Smith, graduated with a Master's from the University of Oklahoma, has done graduate work at the University of Michigan. He soloed in the late spring under the C. A. A. flying program. Head of the department of Mathematics is B. Ed- ward Denton, possessor of one ofthe keenest analytical and mathematical minds on the Hill, drills algebra and trigo- nometry into first year students, and calculus and differen- tial equations into advanced mathematicians. Denton has his Master's degree from George Peabody College at Nashville. Expert in radio mechanics, he operates a short- wave radio station, over which a round-the-world com- munication of widely separated Jewell alumni was held early this year. Ernest W. Landen, who succeeded Paul Sharrah as instructor in Mathematics and Physics, was replaced by Roger Winters, graduate of the University of Missouri, when Landen left for Chicago to accept an appointment in a large research concern there. Winters is one of the sponsors of Sigma Pi Sigma, honorary physics fraternity. Head of the department of Physics and business manager of William Jewell College is Professor John E. Davis, who was graduated from William Jewell and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago.
