Behind thc lecture desk or in charge of the lab there are competent individuals, efficient and understanding, but when they emerge from professorial dignity there are tennis, badminton. and basketball addicts, hockey demons, a group with a predilection for picnics and congenial hilarity in all variations of weather, gardeners, bird-walkers, the geologieally curious, armed with pick-ax and shovel, the com- plete and inordinately proud parent, or the prima donna of thc faculty skit. They,ve gone out from their faculty meeting to challenge the seniors to uproarious hockey and basketball contests, giving ample compensation in their individualistic costumes and collective eontagion of spirit for any lack of practiced organization and technique. They appear with a com- plete and confident baseball team at Mont Alto. ready for all corners. They quibble with mock ve- hemenee over the merits of their respective cars and the blossoming ability of their narcissi. Experts in the Helds of Hebrew and chemistry, mathematics and nlusid 'French and philosophy, sit at faculty tea-tables over the week-end, first confident, then getting a little huffy about this matter of salt- passing . . . students at their tables understand. Or the masculine contingent thunders at the physical education office door, Haven,t you any more shuttlecocks? Faculty life at Wilson is not of se- questered and aloof dignity but as much a part of campus activity as student repartee and industry. 26
