1916 Chestnut-Burr MARGARET DUNBAR, B. L., B. L. S. Our Librarian. Here ' s to her who answers mere ques- tions in one day than seven average women could ask. But she does it patiently, v illingly and gladly. It dcesn ' t matter what your problem is, — whether it is con- cerned with a book or not, — her judgment is always good and she is always pleased to help. In a word, she is worth knowing, and she loves the Bluebird her Buick roadster. ELSIE MABEE, A. B., Ph. B., Pd. M. Training Supervisor. Miss Mabee has the ability to keep her young charges wide awake and eager to know what each day ' s work is to bring to them. She carefully directs them in all their activities, but allows them freedom to decide and choose for themselves. Stu- dents engaged in practice teaching receive great benefit under her direction, for she encourages them to express themselves freely, but is ever ready to advise and sug- gest when perplexities arise. It is always a pleasure to talk with Miss Mabee on topics outside the schoolroom, as well as about questions relating to teach- ing. 18

Kent State Normal College LEWIS SYLVESTER HOPKINS, B. A., M. A. Department of Biology. The instructor who unfolds and reveals the mysterious problems of Nature in such a way that they cease to be mere fancies and become the wonders of our God. Mr. Hopkins is a friend to every student, pro- moting all school activities in a spirit that is highly commendable. NINA S. HUMPHREY, Department of Public School Art. She has been known to remark that de- tails do not bother her, but go to her for the artistic things you may be wanting, and you will go away satisfied that our College is indeed fortunate in having her at the head of -the Art department. Her patience is everlasting, and Good will seems to be her motto. 17

Kent State Normal College DAVID OLSON, B. A., M. Sc. Department of Geography. Mr. Olson is a true friend to all students. He exacts thorough and honest work, and in turn gives wide and varied intelligence which is all the more interesting and in- structive because he obtained it from his own observation and experience. He is always ready to counsel and advise his students; and this advice, if accepted and followed, will always stand the test. JOSEPH E. LAYTON, A. B. Department of History and Govern- ment. Mr. Layton, in his individualistic way, sets forth the facts of History and Government in such a manner that he never fails to get results. Perhaps his witty and humorous remarks are factors conducive to efficiency, for they serve to enliven the dry facts of History. Mr. Layton welcomes every opportunity to mingle with the students, both in and out of school. 19
