ASTRONOMY LEWIS ALANSON BRIGHAM 335 Highland Ave, Wrest Somerville, NIass. 5.13.. Boston University, 1913; A.RI., 1917: Graduate School, Boston University. 1917; Harvard University. 1917-. Instructor in Mathe- matics. Boston l,iniversity. 1915-19; Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. 1919-. tD B K. B 8 H. Briggie, by nature of his subject, goes around with his head in the clouds. He performs, however. such subluuar duties as dusting off the moon and the earth outside the HUB oHice. Concerning his arctic explorations, ask anyone who went to Fishers Hill. We wonder if it was his temper that elected him to the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Altogether, Briggie is a star. BIOLOGY ARTHUR WISWALD XN'EYSSE 421 Marlborough St., Boston. Mass. A.B., Harvard University, 1891; A.M.. 1892: Ph.D., 1894: Univer- sities of Leipsic, Berlin, and Paris, 1894-96; M.D..

Chairman, Executive Committee, Graduate School, 1917-92: Dean, 1922-. tD B K, A K K. We need a pianchette pencil 01' a dictaphone to do full justice to the appalling stores of knowledge which the wizard of the Biology Depart- ment gives us with the regularity of an automaton. Yet we are grateful for the opportunity to tap the reservoir of this exacting dean whom fate has so wisely named. BRENTON REID LUTz 49 Laurel St, Blelrose, NIass. 5.15., Boston University, 1913; A.M.. 19H: Ph.D.. 1917. Instructor in Biology. Boston University, 1914-29; Assistant Professor of Physiol- ogy. Boston University. 1921-; Assistant Professor of Biology, Boston University, 1922-. 1D B K, B 8 H. Outside the classroom Dr. Lutz so cleverly conceals his professurial wisdom and dignity, that to the unsuspecting freshman he often appears like an ordinary upperclassman. Even in the usual depths of his dis- cussions he rises to an occasional jest. or a short skirmish with the costly cosmetic. He is all right, though his interests are rather buggy.
