JJthe J uror a y i After a thorough study of art, both at home and abroad, Miss Goodison came to us and now is head of our de- partment of Fine Arts. Her father was formerly head of the Art department here and The Aurora, ' 93, was dedicated to him. Generosity is her only vice. Specializing students find her an un- failing friend who is ever willing to help those who need and are deserving of help. In connection with Miss Goodison it is impossible not to men- tion Spike, her Airedale. She admits that he is a bad dog, who often stays out nights, but then he redeems him- self by condescending to pose for Art classes. Fine Art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart go together. Bertha M. Goodison Professor of Fine Arts Professor Jefferson, who heads our Geography department, was chief car- tographet at the Peace Conference in Versailles. Following is a quotation from an article on Mr. Jefferson in a recent copy of The Schoolmaster, by Dr. Isaiah Bowman: He sees life as a whole and describes it in that way and not in terms of a narrow specialty. Not does he leave the firmament out of consideration. His philosophy is too broad for that, and anyhow he was trained as an astronomer. As he used to say to us on many a field ttip when cloud fotmations of special interest were to be seen, ' Look up, man; the sky is part of the picture! ' Mark Jefferson, A. M. Professor of Qeography A. B., A. M., Harvard University »«K » 1925 OS ac i Page Sixteen

fcJiH-C Jpkeflu Here ' s to our good Professor Pray, in whose classes the suffering of the homesick Freshmen is first alleviated. Indeed, if one hasn ' t a class to him, just co encounter his smiling presence in the corridor is cheering. Most fascinating of story tellers, he trans- forms the so-called dull facts of history into a gorgeous and dramatic pano- rama. Not only in che class does he delight his hearers, hut his wit and vivacity make History Club meetings especially charming. If necessary he can supply the entire program, music as well as story and lecture. Our readers will soon forget what we say here but they will ever remember what he does here. I Carl E. Pray, A. M. Professor of History B. L., Olivet College A. M., University of Wisconsin Little! But, oh my! Good things come in small packages. Miss Bcal has many important duties on our Campus but we find her loyal to all. A great share of her time is devoted to the Home Economics Department. The girls within the department have gained for themselves under her guidance a higher standard of living and insight into many phases of life. Fannie Beal, A. M. Assistant Professor of Home Economics B. S., Michigan Agricultural College, A. M., Columbia University 1 »« » 1925 fie Page Seventeen
