We won't soon forget him - this big fellow with broad shoulders and a tongue that speaks of plaid and heather bloom, for he'll stick in our memories as what his friend, J. M. Barrie, would call a man tremendous fine. Who's birthday is it today? asks Dr. Black at various times during the year. And as he finishes closing the door he will tell you that it is Tennyson's. Milton's or that of some other noted person. Then the hour is spent in celebration. Some day we hope to come into our class with the same question on our lips but the answer will be l'l. Charlton Black, and the hour will be spent in celebra- tion - You just bet it will! RALPH XVESLEY TAYLOR 104 Nichols Street, Norwood, Nlassaehusetts A.B. Boston University, 1911: Graduate School, 1918-. B G7 l'l. Registrar, Boston University, Vellege of Liberal Arts. Instructor in English. Ask anyone around C. L. A. and they'll tell you that Mr. Taylor isa man of information. Not only can he answer any question you nught ask in the registrar's office, but also he can tell his classes on just which streets Hawthorne played and on what pond Emerson skated. Just take his New Englanrl W ritcrsg you'll see. THOMAS RAY BIATIIER 51 lVIartin Street, Cambridge. lVIassaehusetts A.B. YVilliams Vollege, 1913: A.M. Harvard l'niversity, 1914-: Horace l .

Assistant Professor of English. Genial Tommy, as sincere as Old Authors and Old Friends, beams at us from the front of the room and with an industrious forefinger invites us to criticism of the piece in hand. The class proceeds and after the battle Tommy collects the fragments and builds constructive comments for the future masters. QQ

' This Wilde man of Needham makes education courses- interestingl- with his humor, his toler- ance, and his kindly smile. And what is more we hear that he gets up early to spend an hour at home practicing the piano before he catches the train for our big city.

Lecturer on Education. Uncle Jabey is our idea of an ideal grammar school principal. We can see him running races with the boys and quietly extracting written contracts of attendance from the girls. Besides, we have it on good authority that l1e's a genial soul. 21

Yale University, 19075 A.M. 1910: l'ostgradu.1tc work at University of Chicago, 1914--16g at Boston University, 1922-23. Book and Bond Fraternity. Instructor in English. We hear a little cough and we turn around. We sec a smile, a warm, friendly smileg we see hair graying at the temples-a distinquished gray: we see quizzieal eyes that have eternal youth shining throughg we see a gentlemanly bearingg it is Mr. Sneath. They tell us that he teaches freshman English and corrects freshman themes. We turn to look again, and somehow we know that not even squirming freshmen have hardened his student heart. GERMAN MARSHALL LIVINGSTON PERRIN V Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts A.B. Harvard University, 1874-3 A.M. 18763 Ph.D. Goottingen University 1889g European Universi- ties 1883, 1888. fl? BK. TI H. - Professor of Germanic Languages and Sanskrit. We present our Wellesley Hiller, bee-hivcr, globe-trotter, Ginger-porter, and course inventor extraordinary who is much beloved by all. He speaks many tongues-especially thc language of the students, perhaps because he is still a student himself. Yes sir, Daddy Perrin took an exam in Sanskrit last summer. Wonder if he got excited. Josmrn NOYES HASKRLL 91 Lincoln Street, Melrose, Massachusetts A.B. Amherst College, 1896, S.T.B. Andover Tneological Seminary, l900g Andover Fellow at Harvard University 1910-11. Instructor in German. If every Amherst Lord Jeff deprived of his royal prerogative by a B. U. girl, evolutes into as welcome a product as Mr. Haskell, we're for democracy evcry time. Always having pictured our college fair ones as sort of Amazonic on graduating, we're wondering why the happy look. Perhaps hc's allowed to read her his sermon every week! 23
