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

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-

Instructor in Ilistory. Norseman ships of olden time with high curved prows and gallant sails daring a stormy sea - helmet, gleam of battleaxes - Skoal! to the Northland! skoal 1 We have never seen a Viking, but somehow the word always makes us think of Mr. Nowak. We wonder if perhaps, after all, we haven't seen one - e'en one who can pronounce cyxshtmpo with perfect accent and absolute authority. LATIN ALEXANDER HAMILTON RICE 99 Bartlett Avenue, Arlington, Massachusetts A.B. Harvard University, 19015 Pl1.D. Boston University, 1905.7 Studied Archaeology at American School of Classical Studies, Rome, 1901-02. Director of Teacher's Courses, 1913-5 Director of Summer Session, Boston University, 1915. 9 A X. Professor of Latin. Poor Professor Rice! It's bad enough to have to teach those dumb freshmen - but to have to teach them in Room 09 to the orchestral accompaniment of ice wagons, ash carts, automobiles, milk bottles, and B. A. A. employees . . . Gosh! No wonder he goes around our corridors with a patient expression on his patrician countenance. Of such stuff are martyrs made! DONALD CAMERON 16 Trowbridge Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts A.I3. University of Texas, 18955 A.M. 18903 A.M. I-Iarvard University, 19005 l'l1.D. 19025 University of Berlin, 1902-03. 111 B K, K A Southern. Professor of Latin. ' He entertains us by translating ancient Latin into the very latest slang and telling us stories which invariably begin by When I was in Texas. He is one of the few professors who teach the subject in preference to their own philosophies of life - and we may remember him with a background of the Rome whose lost centuries he has made beautiful for us. 26
