Dr. Babcock Pushes Work University Professor Is DrivingForce Behind Brick-Laying Movement (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) Although he won't confess it, Dr. Babcock is somewhat absent-minded. Almost every morning he runs over the stop signal at the corner of Pickens and Bull Streets. And very often he gets summons from police headquarters to appear in court. If he had to pay fines for such deeds, we don't see how he could live on a professor's salary. On the average of about four times a week he alnlost causes the fire alarm to be turned in from the University. Unconsciously he throws lighted cigarette butts in the waste basket. The paper ignites and then begins a mad scramble to toss the basket, paper, and fire out of the window. On top of all this he is not at all a bad educator. He gets results from his students. He flunks quite a few, but they deserve it, he says. "I have only been congratulated once by a student for flunking him,'r Dr. Babcock said. "While teaching at William and Mary, I busted the student who used to go fishing with me. I just knew that he would hate me so I constantly avoided him. One day, however, he came up to me on the campus and smilingly said, 'Here's ten dollars I want to give you.' Why so?" I asked. " 'Well, I bet my roommate ton dollars that you would find out B that I didn't know a damn thing about I this course. I won it and want to I- give it to you.'" During his sojourn at William and I Mary, he was successively voted the I I best professor in the annual student elections. He helped initiate a publicI ity campaign which resulted in the B gift of several millions of dollars to I the city of Williamsburg which is now I being restored to colonial splendor. Under the auspices of the National B I Editorial Association, he revived the C I Virginia Gazette, oldest Southern I newspaper and the first paper to pub? I lish the Declaration of Independence, . I and made it an extensively quoted I journal. Dr. Babcock has been at the Uni versity for six years and has done ^^B|Vnuch for it. He was instrumental in H getting the Omricon Delta Kappa chapter on the campus. He is conI ducting the extension department I without an appropriation; supervises I high school work every week, and serves on faculty publicity, fraternity, H^^Band catalogue committees. B He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, BSigma Delta Chi, O. D. K., Sigma HEpsilon, Kappa Alpha, the Social CabBinet, and the Debating Council. Thur.?Fri.?Sat.
