WILTJIAM Goonwm AURELIO 102 Charles Street, Boston, Massachusetts A.B. Boston University, 1894: A.M. 18955 Studied at Goettingen University, 1897-99g Jacob Sleeper Fellow, 1897-99. fl' H K, B C9 lil. Professor of German and G reck. We thought of calling Professor Aurelio various things - the lncorrigible Punsler, perhaps, or the Human Dynamo, the Man with the Fist, or the Bane of the Sluggish Mind. And then, of course, we remembered that after all he is our Militant Pacifist of whom H. G. 1Vells must have been thinking when he wrote - fierce asa pacifist in a passion. MERVYN JOY BAILEY '76 Raymond Avenue, West Somerville, Massachusetts A.B. Boston Vniversity, 1915: A.M. 1917: Brown University, 1916-173 Harvard Graduate School. 1920-. 111 B K. B 9 H. Assistant Professor of German. Professor Bailey, the Mervyn Joy Bailey who is never on time, never systematic, who devotes his class hours to informal lectures on philosophy, roses, music, chickens, the superiority of man to woman and kindred subjects has returned from Germany, with a new store of German anecdotes. And still on some dark days during the semester he expects the uninitiative student to write the German never learned on yellow paper, while the professor sits on the edge of his desk and swings his feet! Orfro EMIL PLATII Bussey Institute, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts A.B. Northwestern College, Wisconsin, 19105 A.M. University of Washington 19123 S.M. in Zoology, llarvard, 1925. 2 E. Instructor in German. Once there was a sturdy youngster with round blue eyes who sat in a school room on warm June days with a German reader propped up before him and gazed beyond it straight out the window at a bee sailing round the clover tops. His schoolmates called him Bz'erwu-Korzig. Even today the Herr professor breaks into a German declensiou with talk of locusts and wild honey. Q1-

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

Mi GREEK JOSEPH RICHARD TAYLOR 39 Boylston Street West, Watertown, Massachusetts A.li. YVL-sleyan University, 18823 A.M. 18854 A.lVl. llarvard University, 1890: University of Leipzig. 1880-87: University of Berlin, 1887-88: Classical Archaeology in Greece and Rome, 1888: Ilarvard Graduate School. 1892-90. fb M 9, fl' B K. Professor of Greek and English. Allow us to introduce you to C.L.A.'s most modern modernite. He knows more about Adolph Menjou and Gloria Swanson than docs Filene's basement, and his stock of slang expressions exceeds even that of the most promising young co-ed. I'm with you, he is wont to declare, and we believe him, be- cause from behind his professorial beard and string of degrees twinkles forth none other than Peck's Bad Boy. HISTORY WARREN ORTMAN AUL'r 25 Kinross Road, Boston, Massachusetts A.l3. Baker University, 19075 Rhodes Scholar from Kansas, 1907-105 li.A. in Modern History, Ox- ford University, 19103 Fellow in History, Yale University, 1911-13: M.A. Oxford University, 19103 Ph.D. Yale University, 1919. Z X. Professor of History. If such a statement were not absurd, his students would say Prof. Ault had missed his calling. Cook, of tourist fame, would not have had a chance if Prof. Ault had started first. But just the same we're glad he's here - to juggle kings and queens, continents, statcsnien around with that merry abandon of his, and in our opinion, he makes history even as he unfolds it.. RALPH VOLNEY I-IARLOW 36 Manning Street, Needham, Massachusetts AB. Yale University, 1909: A.M. 1911: Ph.D. Yale Graduate School, 1913. 11113 K Assistant Professor of I-Iistory. We have within our college a backward looking prophet, to use the phrase of Schlegel. Scanning those worthy volumes from his pen, Samuel Aflams and Growfh of The Unilcrl Stains, we do not wonder the professor gives an impression of street dignity. From Yale to Yale, student. to faculty, will be the curve of his career next year. We wish him godspecd! ' Q5
