THE FACULTY
THE faculty team has been the sensation of the Interfraternity Basketball League. But this reaction stems not from a long winning streak or from prodigious point production. The fact is that as of this writing they have yet to win a game against their younger and better-conditioned opponents. It's their uniforms blue and white with the word Teacher emblazoned on the front. And on the back is the word Scholar.
The hyphen is lost, but they are identified and the point is made.
THE work of Richard E. Wagner, Associate Professor of Art, is represented in a show at Pine Manor Junior College entitled Ten New England Painters. The painters represented were selected for "the high quality of their work, the wide variety of aesthetic and philosophic interests reflected in their paintings, and for their regional distribution in the New England area."
DEAN WALDO CHAMBERLIN and Mrs. Chamberlin, Executive Secretary of the Committee on Graduate Fellowships, will participate in the 71st annual Wilton Park Conference in England late this month.
