Hughie's experience as a Fisher of men has greatly aided him in enticing information from successive Freshman classes. His feat of keeping a healthy cow for four years on nothing more than she could pick up on 30369469 square feet of land has made him justly famous. GEORGE FREEMAN PARMENTER, P1-1.D. Zldferrzfll Professor' of C7Z6'7'1'L'ISIi7':tl Needham High School, Massachusetts, 1896, Mas- sachusetts State College, IQOO, Fellow in Chemistry at Massachusetts State College, IQOO-IQOI, Assistant Chemist at United States Experiment Station, Kingston, R. I., IQOI-IQO2, Instructor in Chemistry Brown University, 1902-1903. Professor of Chem- istry at Colby since 1903. Parmenter is 3. hlassachusetts Aggie, but do11't let that deceive you. He has escaped' the fossil club, and lack of hair is his only failing. GRACE ELLA BERRY, A.M. Dea-it of the W011'1-CILJS College West Boylston High School, 1888g Mount Hol- yoke College, 18935 Instructor in Mathematics, Westerii College for VVomen, 1893-1897, graduate student and Assistant in Mathematics, Mount Hol- yoke, 1897-18995 received Degree of A.M., 18995 graduate student at Cornell Summer School, 1899, Instructor in Mathematics and Physics, VVestern College for Woineii, 1899-19003 Associate Professor of Physics, Mount Holyoke, IQOO-1902, Dean of WOIIICIIJS College, Colby, since 1902. The Dean is the last person in the world whom the ORACLE would care to Sass, for she has a big brother up at the Bricks who can lick his weight in Wildcats. And also, is she not the dispenser of hospitality at the Hall? . I3 W Z f ,'f ' f Z-

Dutchy is famous among Colby men for his absolute impar- tiality, his hard-headed common sen d ' ' se, an his brilliant wit. It is unfortunate that his modesty seldom allows him to dis- play the same. 101-IN I-IEDMAN, A.M. Professov' of the Romance Languages Caribou High School, 18913 Colby, 1895, I n- structor in Modern Languages, 1895-1896, Instructor in Latin and Greek, 1896-18993 University of Paris, 1899-19003 Associate Professor of Romance Lan- guages, 1900-1902, Professor of Romance Languages since 1902. Johnny speaks IZW languages, and it isn't safe to roast a man with so many tongues at his' cornmand. 'fl-Ie is little but he's wise,-he's a wonder for his size and mcidentall i Y, he.is.an enthusiastic supporter of athletics and all Colby activities. CLARENCE I-IAYWARD W1-11TE, A.M. Professor of the Greek Lan-guage and Lizte1'atu1'e Bristol Academy, Taunton, Massachusetts, 1882g Aniherst College, 18863 Instructor in Greek, Amherst High School, 1885-18863 Instructor in Latin and Mathematics, Private Classical Sch ool, at l-lartford, 1886-18873 Instructor in Greek and Latin, Carleton College, 1887-18913 Master in Latin, W . . oicestei Academy, 1891-19023 Professor at Colby since 1902. Cassiel' acquired distinction by his famous home the Senior faculty baseball game of 190-4, and -he remarkable for his forcefulksnappy style in speaking run in is still U. Colby is his Alma-azmty and will probably be his Aluia-granny, also. In this picture, he conscientiously chose wooden a background for his head. I2

He may look pleasant when you Hunk, but after the fmals he'll cut you out without the least compunction. S'chlugs .is all right, except for much greater attention to the faxr sex than becomes the possessor of an acreage of hairless epi- derrnis. j011N VVHITMORE, P1-LD Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy Hillhouse High School, 1881, Cornell Prepara- tory School, 1882, Yale, 1886, Instructor in Physics, Humboldt CI0WaD High School, 1886-1887, Instructor at the University of Minnesota, 1887- 1889, graduate student and Sloane Fellow at Yale, 1889-1892, received the Degree of Ph.D. from Yale, 1892, Instructor in Physics at Yale, 1892-1894, Prin- cipal of Lynn High School, 1894-1898, graduate stu- dent at Yale, 1898-1901, Principal of Stamford High School, 1901-1905, Leiberg University, 1905,I-Iarvard University, 1905-1906, member of the American Chemical Society, the German Chemical Society, the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Colby, 1906-1907. Feasable'i is a sober, long-faced cuss, with a wel1-rnodu- lated voice and abundant hair. Long familiarity with the stars has had its influence on his career, and he will go into eclipse in June. HOWARD EDWIN SIMPSON, P11.B., A.M. Instructor' in Geology I I Clarence High School, ISQIQ Cornell College, Ph.B., 1896, Cornell School of Oratory, 1896, Instructor in Science, Knoxville High School, 1897- 1898, Principal of Knoxville High School, 1898- 1900, Superintendent of Schools, Columbus Junc- tion, Iowa, 1900-1903, graduate student in the Uni- versity of Chicago, summers of 1902-1903, graduate student, Harvard University, 1903-1905, Field and Laboratory Assistant in Geology, Harvard Univer- sity, 19o4, Assistant in Physiography and Meteor- ology, Harvard University, 1904-1905, A.M., Har- vard University, 1905, Instructor in Geology, Colby College, since 1905. Simp looks to be quite a man, but appearances are so deceiving. The best thing he ever did was to lecture a class of ministers on the evils of cribhing. We nearly forgot to mention .that he is Registrar-r and Secretary of the Faculty. I4
