IJJhe j upora ' Mr. Lathers may have several avoca- tions, hut if you wish to discover a very interesting one ask him some such question as this, It looks like fine weather for chickens, doesn ' t it? and soon he ' ll take you over to his back yard and show you that he agrees. There is always a fussy old hen with her chattering brood there throughout the spring and summer, and when his classes prove too exasperating and un-r intelligent, we wonder whether he doesn ' c confide in these understanding friends. But Mr. Lathers is an artist, a genius and a real person. Not only can he teach how to read and act, but he can do both himself with success which few ever attain. m J. Stuart Lathers, A. M. Professor of Speech B. L., University of Michigan Every student in this college conies in contact with Mr. Roberts before re- ceiving a diploma of any size, kind or description. He inspires, advises, and admonishes aspiring young teachers. His critic meetings are invigorating, to say the least. In saying a thing he re- members thac the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Mr. Roberts believes in young people, and heartily approves of bobbed hair. He is a cordial friend to all — even to the stray cats and dogs wandering about the Campus. Dimon H. Roberts, A. M. Superintendent of Training School A. B., A.

Dr. Gorton understands young people and usually chooses che darkest nights for observing the stars. If our hearts are responsive to the beauty and wonder or the heavens, the stars can teach us many lessons thac will stay with us thru life. We earnestly advise everyone to take this splendid course in Astronomy. Dr. Gorton ' s Physics classes are just as splendid, and he is always ready co answer all questions, wise or otherwise. With infinite pacience and sincere enthusiasm, he teaches the great truths of science. Everyone has a good word to say for Dr. Gorton. He is truly a prince among men! ft 9 j SL«=, Frederick R.

r »e«a x» JJJhe j urora ► d ri Men ' s ambitions, aims, and ideals are a great influence in molding the characters of young people with whom they come in contact. Kind words and a helping hand when the work is hard, a few jokes to make the work more cheerful; these arc the things that make us remember with pleasure the chemistry courses we have taken. Bert W. Pee:, M. S. Professor of Chemistry i. S., Michigan Agricultural College M. S., University of Michigan Horace Z. Wilber, A. M. Professor of Education and Philosophy Director of Extension College A. B., Michigan State Notmal College A. B., A. M., University of Michigan I When not engaged in directing the activities of correspondence and exten- sion students, Professor Wilber finds time enough to teach an occasional class in history of education or philos- ophy, or to give pointers to prospective high school teachers concerning the best available positions. He is, as his title implies, very enthusiastic over exten- sions of every kind. At present he is working on the problem of extending the 24-hour day to give him time for a few more classes. His favorite catch questions are along this line: Why is this thus, and what is the reason for this thusness? as 1925 «E Page Twenty-three
