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.

A GEORGE FULMER MULL, A. M., Litt. D., Professor of the Latin Language and Literature, 431 W. James Street. Literature, Latin,-unfortunate that Athletics does not begin with an L, and so complete the trium-L-ate. But if your Roman taste rebel

ORIFLAMME 11 PIERBERT IIUEBENER BECK, A. C., Professor of Chemistry and lVIineralogy, Y. M. C. A. Building. First-class chemist and efficient instructor. Since he joined the Faculty in 1901 he has not only instructed ably, but has also shown an active interest in athletics. That he unravels complex chemical form- ulas is not evidence that he can take no interest in the numerical form- ulas that help to score goals and touchdowns. A. THOMAS G. APPLE, A. M., Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, Q37 Lancaster Avenue. An able thinker, willing and able to guide the bewildered student out of intricate mathematical labyrinths, an indefatigable worker, one who knows the mysteries of the stars and is among the first to greet the com- ing of the comets. H. M. J. KLEIN, Ph. D., Audenried Professor of History and Archaeology, 548 W. James Street. An earnest, forceful preacher, a clear logician, a puissant personality: closely linked with all Y. M. C. A. enterprises and activities, having the general interest of his College at heart, in brief, the student's patron, friend and counselor. VICTOR WIIJIJIAM DIPPELL, Ph. D., Professor of Modern Languages, 563 Walnut Street. Dippy is a master of the Frenchman's wit and the German's jest, as well as of their linguistic art, a hater of classroom unpreparedness: an admirer of gray matter effectively applied, vitally interested in students' obligations and responsibilities, not excluding their financial straits. JOHN NEVIN SCI-IAEFFER, B. Litt., Oxon., Professor of Clas- sics, 25 S. West End Avenue. ' VVhile we regard the classics with open hate, curse them in soliloquy, disregard them in colloquy, and make cavalry inroads upon their aging camps, we cannot fail to see the merit of one who knows them well indeed and ably captains their defensive warfare.
