Weaver College was very fortunate in securing Dr. Beulah M. Briley as a member of the faculty for the school year beginning September 3, 1924. Dr. Briley is a Ph.D. graduate of the University of Iowa and is an experienced and competent teacher. She came to her new position with a genuine interest in the welfare of the college. The vigor and intelligence with which she tackled her work at once gave confidence to the faculty and student body that the right person had been secured as instructor of Economics.
Dr. Briley is rather reserved, but to know her is to love her. I tis with deep regret that her resignation has been accepted. On account of the condition of her health and also that of her mother, she will not be able to return to Weaver after Christmas, but she will spend the coming months with her people. I tis the sincere wish of every one at Weaver that Dr. Briley and her mother will soon be restored to health.
There will be some changes in the work after Christmas. Mrs. Carden, the wife of Prof. Carden and a very energetic and capable woman, will relieve Prof Powell of some of his work and will take over high school English that Dr. Briley had. Prof. Powell will resume his place held last year as head of the Department of History and Economics.
