'SEK' es ff it r 1523 ., fZGf..I. -' ,fig GJ.. ., NVILLIAM A. ELLIOTT, A.M., L.H.D. qi A 9, if B K Professor of Greek Language and Literature. 1 Truly a veteran in the service of Allegheny, lloc Bill has given many years of his life to the de- yelopment and betterment of his Alma Mater. Ile has been able to survey the growth of a struggling institution of old to the new Allegheny of to-day. More than this, he may well feel that he has done much to effect the change, for his services have been invaluable. VVith his spirit of optimism and enthusiasm enriched by his long experience, Professor Elliott continues to boost and build the college and its life. CLARENCE FRISBEE ROSS, A.M., Litt.D. an A 9, 4: B K Professor of Latin Language and Literature. Dean of Men and Registrar. Dr, Ross accomplishes his thousand-fold duties in such an efficient way that we sometimes lose sight of the personality which is back of his executive ability. Those -who are fortunate in coming into closer association with this busy Dean and Registrar can readily appreciate his sympathetic, kindly manner and his sincere interest in the students' welfare. To successfully manage and administer to over tive hundred students requires unlimited energy and patience, and Dr. Ross has proved that he possesses these essential qualities in a very large measure. CHARLES LING, Ph.D. E A E Professor of Physics and Astronomy. Dr. Ling Ends a great deal of enjoyment in having a friendly chat on the merits of the city of cities -Aflenver. But he has little time to indulge in such a pleasure, for VVilcox Hall and the Newton Observa- tory constantly summon him to work. Dad is a learned physicist, astronomer, and weather prophetg in the last named capacity he finds especial favor among those interested in spring and fall parties. OSCAR P. AKERS, Ph.D. B T, E E Professor of Mathematics and Surveying. Despite his having been awarded the golf championship last season. Dr. Akers is the very antithesis of the big stick policy in classroom administration. VVhile reading the minutes at a faculty meeting or buying butter at the weekly market, Pop displays an ever present dignity which characterizes him as a big man in more ways than one. RICHARD EDXVIN LEE, Sc.D. ::AE,AX2,-LBK Professor of Chemistry. While Dr. Lee's interests are varied, ranging from education and public health to wireless and batting averages, he occasionally finds time to discuss the relative merits of motor cars. As a teacher of chemistry, his expositions are shorn of terrifying technicalities. lYhile he possesses an exact and intimate knowl- edge of the science, he imparts it to his students in a clear and entertaining manner. As one of Alle- gheny's most enthusiastic athletic fans, he has been invaluable in the development of our athletic program. ALICE HUNTINGTON SPALDING. Dean of VVomeng Instructor in Public Speaking To speak adequately of Miss Spalding, who holds the position of Dean of Women of Allegheny Col- lege would require more space and more gifted paragiaphers than the Kaldron affords. Her dramatic ability and her excellencies in public speaking demand special notice. For the rest, it suffices to say that she has held her present position since 1911 and is likely to hold it indefinitely. A Hulings Hall without Miss Spalding is beyond the Alleghenian's power of imagination. 1 My ...,.. ..... .................. - ,...,. N CD, C5

Although he is now roaming along the Pacific coast, Dr, Darling is not forgotten by his Allegheny friends back east. He worked so faithfully for the past seven years that the college has granted him a vacation. Too energetic to lead a care-free life even temporarily, Dir. Darling' is doing research work in the University of California. We shall be glad to welcome this faculty member and friend back to his station in Alden Hall next fall. CHARLES E. HAlVllVlETT. Professor of Physical Education. Professor Hammett, or as we know him, Smiling Charlie, seeks to make a higher scholastic standing possible by keeping the students physically fit. However distasteful P, T. may be to some, Coach haslincreased its attractiveness by his resourcefulness and originality in conducting classes. Possessing the ability to analyze opposing plays and create for them a defense, he has been an invaluable aid to Coach McCracken in forming the best football team ever wearing the Blue and Gold. FREDERICK G. HENKE, Ph.D. A X P, qw B K, K qw K Professor of Philosophy and Education. From time to time memorable addresses have been delivered from the rostrum of Ford Chapel, but few will leave a more indelible impression on the minds of the students than did onoe given by this faculty member on the WoofleduFf. Dr. Henke has done much in endorsing and supporting the finer things of campus life and has been closely associated with the Y, M. C. A. As head of the philosophy and educa- tigmhdepartment, he exerts no little influence in molding the lives of the religious and educational leaders 0 t e uture. JOHN RICHIE SCHULTZ, Ph.D. A A 2 flf, Acacia Professor of English Literature. Evidently there is a fallacy in a quizz a day keeps the students away, inasmuch as quizzes have no effect on the attendance in the English Lit Glasses of Dr. Schultz. His spontaneous wit and pleasant satire have made him one of our most popular professors and have made his classes fifty minutes of agreeable instruction. Doc Schultz has taken an active part in dramatics, and his ability in directing the plays of Duzer Du has largely accounted for the present strength and success of this club. HENRY WARD CHURCH, Ph.D. fIPAK,fIPMA,fIPEI,'I1BK Professor of Romance Languages and Literature. Despite the fact that the Romance Language department is one of the largest departments in college, Dr. Church still has time to bring Metropolitan stars here to sing for us, and to take trips to Europe. As head of that relentless social committee, he tells us how many parties we can't have and when we can't have them, but even with all these cares, Dr. Church continues to smile. CHRISTOPHER B. CULEBIAN, Ph.D. A K E, fr B K Professor of History and Political Science. Dr. Coleman is an exponent of the old proverb Still waters run deep fsome of his questions are so deep that the students are usually stillb. His classes constantly hum with discussions on the Constitution, women's suffrage, political parties, and prohibition. Through aiding in the organization of the History and Political Science Club, Dr, Coleman has stimulated much interest in the related courses. U I .,.., . . ...,. will ,..... N Cl Y Ai
