THE 020 l'lTE BERGER Faculty , CD T IS the faculty which makes the school. ' - The Wittenberg administration, realizing the foregoing truth, has directed its efforts toward building a strong faculty. As a result, the A Wittenberg faculty is now recognized as one of the finest in the State in ii of Ohio. GD fx 1 Z Y f X. -A gt K If 'Y5 - iff' 'iff' n9, .Un l, ii, The Wittenberg faculty has a high place on the standard of graduate study. Of the eighty-one faculty members, thirty-seven have forty- four doctor's degrees. Twenty-one of the twenty-six professors hold doctor's degrees, while four are now studying for that degree. Nine associate-professors and seven assistant-professors hold doctor's degrees. Thirty-three in the faculty hold the degree of doctor of philosophy. Seven men hold D. D. degrees. The degrees of LL.D., Sc. D., Th. D., J. D., are also represented. A number of the Wittenberg professors are well-known among their colleagues throughout the United States for their scholastic research and writings. Many Wittenberg professors are in great demand as speakers. But the true basis of education is the direct contact of a learner's mind with the trained mind of a cultivated teacher. So more than the mere holding of degrees enters into the measurement of the excellence of the faculty, the personal characteristics of the teacher. The modern college is accused by some critics of a general lack of intellectual interest. But if this is true, a large measure of the blame lies with the teachers of a certain type. However, Wittenberg is especially fortunate in this matter of personality among teachers. While, of course, there are a few exceptions marked by the student body, a great proportion of the Wittenberg teachers are first of all human. There are many of the type who can make their subject alive and interesting to the student, and this results in real interest on the part of almost every normal student. There are teachers who lead their students into new realms of thought and life, into vivid intellectual interests, into higher planes of truth. These are the men and women whom Wittenbergers number among their finest personal friends, and whom they will remember and be thankful to all their lives and through all their successes. It is, then, to these rich sources of knowledge and friendship among the members of the Wittenberg faculty, that the students of Wittenberg feel unlimited devo- tion and gratitude. ..... F 99009555
