10 F. 8: M. COLLEGE against a duum-L-ate, soothe it by adding Lectures. For Georgy', is known among the students as a master of the lecturing art, and therefore admired-the longer the lecture, the greater one's chance of escape from 1'ecitation. His broad smile is contagious-the only glum faces in his classroom belong to those who haven't got it out. RICHARD CONRAD SCHIEDT, A. M., Ph. D., Sc. D.,The B. F. Fackenthal, J r., Professor of Natural Science CBiology and Geologyjg 1043 Wlleatland Avenue. A broad, learned thinker and scientist, frank to express his convictions and fearless in defending them. In his classroom Dicky is dissatisfied with A. B. men because they have had Greek and Latin, but know so little about it. He proposes for them, therefore, the degree H. H. D., Doctor of Having Had. He has been connected with the institution for twenty-seven years, and while he has made students laugh, he has also made them dig, ANSELM VINET IIIESTER, A. M., Sc. D., Professor of Political and Social Science, 320 Race Avenue. For twenty years preacher and teacher of marked ability. Tubby knows his subject, and knows how to make you know. In his class- roo111, every student learns to control his surplus energy, to concentrate his attention on practical politics, and to descend from the clouds ot generalities to the terra firma of the specific. Thoroughness and Tubby are synonyms. He is a man with a big mind and a big heart. CLARENCE NEVIN HELLER, A. M., Professor of Greek, 230 Lancaster Avenue. The personal friend of Homer, Aeschylus, and other ancients whom students usually approach in cavalry fashion. During nineteen years of teaching he has come to be called Zeus. Zeus has made war on the Latins or formed alliance with them, and so became familiar with their language also. If we fail to appreciate him, it is because the majority have an American autipathy to Greek and, therefore, cannot appreciate the language.
