Kent State Normal College EDITH M. OLSON, Training Supervisor. Mrs. Olson understands the needs of her boys and girls and how to supply these needs in a way that mean daily develop- ment for them. By allowing them to use their own judgment she teaches them to feel responsibility, and under her experi- enced guidance they are led habitually to depend upon their own choices in matters of importance. Under her excellent super- vision, training students are given every opportunity to express their own ideas, and wherever weakness exists, Mrs. Olson never fails to have at hand the necessary remedy. Students are fortunate in having the opportunity to work under her supervi- sion and thus come to realize more fully, their own possibilities. ELLIS C. SEALE, A. B., B. S., A. M. Department of Education. Mr. Seale believes efficiency depends upon a high standard of scholarship com- bined with a thorough interpretation of each lesson. A pleasant morning greeting is never lacking on his part. Occasional inquiries here and there before class per- iod regarding certain phases of the work at hand or questions of interest to life outside, seem to be but characteristic of the man, but these little acts mean far more to the students than do many seemingly greater things. Mr. Seale is just the sort of in- structor who fills the role. 21

1916 Chestnut-Burr LEMUEL A. PITTENGER, A. B., A. M. Department of English. The Class of 1916 of K. S. N. C. has certainly missed the elevating and inspiring influence of Professor Pittenger during the past year. Little does the class of 1917 realize what the association with such a personality has meant to the students who have been under his instruction, but it is our sincere and ardent hope that next year they may gain the benefit of this ex- perience. HARVEY L. EBY., A. B. Department of Education. Through his class lectures, Professor Eby teaches educational and moral truths so directly and forcibly, that they become a vital part of the students under his in- struction, and thus aid them in rendering efficient service when they themselves take up the responsibilities of teaching. 20

1916 Chestnut-Burr JOHN BROOKIE FAUGHT, A. B., Ph. D. Department of Mathematics. A mathematician from the ground up, and if you can ' t teach arithmetic when you leave him, it will be your fault. He has an infectious laugh and a jolly good manner all his own, which, luckily saves the day, for things are apt to get rather dry in plain Rithmetic. If you want co-opera- tion in other good college activities — ask Prof. Faught. He will meet you more than half way. RALPH L. EYMAN, B. S. Department of Physical Science. Mr. Eyman puts into daily practice that fine courtesy which is the mark of a true gentleman. His method of explicit in- struction, his bearing — in a word, he him- self appeals to the best that is in one and constantly inspires honest, independent effort. Carefully and skillfully, he clears away the mists surrounding the Science he teaches, and presents the work in a form that makes it an interesting and delightful study to his students. 22
