'-6-B I R D S I V lEW Bobby Livel,y For as many years as Western has stood upon the Hill, the English department has stood as one of the strong~ points of t he college . Such a statement can be made only because the department has been starred with the best of t eachers . Let us take a look at each of these i nstructors of 'Itlom we a r e so proud. Let us s ee what degrees they hold and somet hing of inter est about each. We will begin with the head of our department, Dr. Qordon Wilson, Ph.D., University of Indi ana. This very talented i nstructor is an efficient journalist l ecturer author, naturalist, and scholar whom we e.ll ~re. ' Now le t us proceed down the Englis h Channel. We first drop i n on Dr. Earl Moore, Ph.b., Indiana. Here we find a perfect example of a l earned scholar, a man whom we may proudly acknowledge to be our professor. . The s ubject of our next v i sit i s Mr. RlUIseU Hiller M. A. , University of Mississippi . He is an accomplish;d perfection i st who instills in his pupils the same noble dosire for h igh a ttainment which he possesses. T~ next vis it i s with Yr. Wilson Wood, M.A., Indiana. H? ).s a n uli5elfi~h gentleman who is willing to give of himself and of h~B tiDe to s ee the moldi ng of citize ns and scholars from us humble students . The next of f ice i s occupied by Mrs. Earl Moore , M. A., Peabody. She is a cult ured , r e fined lady who would be a compl iment to any f aculty. We have spoken of Miss Richards on pa ge two so our next visi t vlill be ,11th Miss :Elmna Stith. Ii.A . : Peabody. Of her wo may say s he is a very c apable instruc tor and a pers onal friend to ea ch of reI" students . At the souttre s t entrance t o the Channe l we dis cove r our own faithful, proficie rit Hiss J ennie Upton who holds the M.1t. . degree from tho s ame school, \1estem, from which we someday hope to be graduate s .
