DR. NATT MORRELL EMERY J dry catalog of a man ' s career and accomplishments can but present a very inadequate picture of the man himself. There is lacking the vital element which distinguishes a real per- sonality. In Dr. Emery ' s case the outstanding qualities were an engaging affability and a con- scientious devotion to duty. Towards faculty and students he was always kindly, fair, courteous, and sympathetic without in the least being gullible. He demanded a great deal of himself and expected much from others. He was an able administrator, an excellent committee man and a capable presiding officer. His knowledge of business methods and parliamentary procedure was supplemented by a generous fund of common sense and an almost uncanny faculty of getting at the crux of a situation. To those who knew him well, it was no surprise to hear that he had died in service and that his last effort was an endeavor to do something constructive for the benefit of the institution he so loved. For Lehigh University was Dr. Emery ' s life work. From the University he drew his inspiration and to it he gave without stint all that was in him. In the seventy years of Lehigh ' s existence few men have served longer, one with more devotion, more selflessness or more loyalty. A Minule From The Faculty Records — 19-

JDy their words ye shall know them. Quite an appropriate misstate- ment when applied to our worthy faculty. After four years of constant association we find it easy to repeat after me. Day after day the same phrases; year after year the same jokes. What would a metal- lurgy class be like without that introductory, Now will you close your books, please. How well we remember the first sight of those frighten- ing faces that have since become so friendly. How we trembled under that first barrage of heavy sarcasm that has since become so amusing- The following pages are a jumble of quips, quotations, and stories at the expense of our friends and enemies, the faculty. Many of them are without other identification than their familiarity. How many can you JVLany a ten tongued linguist can do no more than swear in seven of them. - - - Now as Mark Twain once said about the German language - - - A bouquet for Kegel for shaming our track stars into training - - - Now, bread is better than knowledge, And half a loaf ' s better than none, But when we spend so much on college We really want more than a Crum. - - - Est-ce que je pousse trop loin la plaisanterie? - - - Psych quizzes are really inspiring; they show us how much our professors really know - - - Really, Shorty, if you would mimeograph those lectures we could stay home and sleep; we can read as well as you - - - Now, in the electrical power industry - -- We ' ll recess while I First Row: R.
