"English is fundamental in all professions Or vocations." This is so well understood at Harding that functional English, Journalism, and Speech are co-ordinated into one overall department. Few Harding students realize that Dr. L. C. Sears, dean of administration and head of the Department of English, is listed in three Who's Who's-those for Writers, for Scholars, and for Educators of America. At present he is revising for publication several chapters of his doctor's dissertation, one chapter of which has already been distributed privately by the University of Chicago. To complete, or rather to begin, his week, he preaches on Sunday traveling on an average of 120 miles each Sunday. His idea of a perfect day in June is to go fishing I Neil B. Cope, associate professor of English and professor of Journalism is perfectly willing to tell you all about "The Bison" of which he has been sponsor since '36. However, it is only reluctantly that he will admit that he is the official sponsor of the A. C. P. A. For the greatest thrill out of his publicity work, he considers the story of Harding's N. Y. A. students as tops for the year. Chief of his hobbies is "child raising" right now but photography and gardening are important to him. Mrs. E. R. Stapleton-associate professor of English is her title but that hardly begins to describe her relationship to Harding. As concerns her official position though, she usually teaches Freshman Composition, Business English, and a survey course in English literature . Though she has served as editor of a newspaper for two years and still likes printer's ink , she also likes to care for her four-year-old san, Glen Dewey, cook, piece quilts, and play the piano-and even enjoys being for the eighth time the advisor of this Petit Jean with all the headache such a responsibility carries.
