Hi JpheJ urot»a Babies and baskets! This dear New England lady collects them — so we ' ve been told. She has them in every size, color and description, and keeps on adding more to her collection. Of course, we were ralking about the baskets and not the babies, but she wants to adopt every baby she sees, just as she longs to possess every queer- looking basket that she finds. Her students are always willing to be adopted and her boys think that Aunt Alice is the best friend a fellow could ever have. After discovering the twinkle in her eye and her whole- hearted interest in them, they pronounce her pure gold and true-blue. The doors of her home in Ypsilanti and her farm in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, arc always thrown wide open to her many friends, old and young. Alice I Boardman Assistant Professor of Industrial A.rts Graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Lloyd Training School, Boston There is a golden mean in all things, says Horace. Dr. D ' Ooge is very fond of this quotation, but he is a better preacher than practicer. As a scholar, lecturer, teacher, and author he has made the golden extreme his goal, and has achieved it. His en- thusiasm for his subject is boundless, and sutely he. has done his best in its behalf, for he writes textbooks and then he trains the teachers. For these things he is famous, but for his kind- ness he is loved, and when his pupils ' brows are crowned with snowy locks, each will say to her grandchildren, I went to school to Dr. D ' Ooge. Ah, there were teachers in those days. I Dr D ' Ooge, Ph. ' D. Professor of Latin A. B. A. M., University of Michigan Ph. D., Univetsity of Bonn a 1925 a 36 i Page Eighteen

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

Dr. Ford is a great scholar, a graduate of famous schools, both at home and abroad, but he is also a great teacher. His classes are lit by the glow of his great friendliness for his pupils and by flashes of his clever, original humor. Along with this work and his frequent trips abroad Dr. Ford has had time to make his name well known as a lec- turer. 3dC » 1925 «E J« J2f W Page Nineteen
