in contact with him. He is one of the most pleasing of men; kind and courteous to everyone and universally popular with faculty and students. The difficulties of the classroom are almost invariably bridged over by his cheerful disposition and affable manner. He is a man of strong Christian character, admirable personality, deep conviction, and a master in his chair. His opinion is never given without cool, deliberate, considerate thought, and when it is given the weight of conscience is behind it and it is worth the utmost consideration of all seeking knowledge.

he received the A. M. degree from the same institution. In the public schools, the academy, and the college, he made most of his opportunities, being active in both Christian and literary work. During his senior year in college he was president of the Psi Gamma Literary Society, and chairman of the Oratorical Asso- ciation. flUpon graduation from college his efforts were rewarded by his election to the superintendency of the public schools of Belpre, Ohio, and to the principalship of the high school. This was one of the best schools in Southeastern Ohio, and he proved his effi- ciency in the management of these schools. In 1892 his services were sought at Maryville as principal of the Preparatory Depart- ment, which he accepted. The next year the chair of Science and Art of Teaching was added to his work. He continued in this capacity until 1901, when he was elevated to the chair of Psychol- ogy and Political Science. flDr. Barnes has done his graduate study in the University of Chicago, Cornell, and Wooster during the summer vacations. This summer work was begun in the University of Wooster, where he received his Ph. D., in 1900. In the summer of 1895 he began his study in the University of Chicago, where he has since spent five summers. The summer of 1901 was spent in Cornell Uni- versity studying Experimental Psychology under Professor Titch- ener. flDr. Barnes was elected a member of the Gamma Chapter of the Beta Kappa Society of Marietta College in 1890. In 1892 he was granted a life certificate by the State Board of School Exam- iners. He was made a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in 1905. For several years he has served as deacon in the Presbyterian church, with which he united at the age of twenty.

And yet he is in the prime of life, fully prepared to impart his thorough knowledge and training to those who come 6
