1915 RAVELI NGST UU di HORACE GUNTHORP, Ph. B. A. M. Biology. The man who almost cleaned up on Sam Hamilton. He will take as many chairs out of Assembly Hall as he darn pleases and Sam ain ' t man enough to stop him. Relent- less giver of stiff tests. H. W. CHURCH, A. M. Modern Languages. Prof. Church is the curly blond with the quizzical smile We thought we might be able to get a cartoon of him but we didn ' t have room to run it. He is a bear with the foreign lingo, a play-producer, a pipe-organist and a friend of M. C. Athletics. MILTON MONROE MAYNARD, A. B. Ass ' t. Prof, of English. We call him Skin of Maynie — he answers to either. A shark at debates and journalism and a devout worshipper of Abe Lincoln. The boys say that if you want to get solid with him you must ring in either Lincoln or Macau- lay at least four times each recitation. We would like to recommend that he try shaving- six times a week instead of three. G. ARTHUR ANDREWS. Oratory. Here is a subject to which we can hard- ly do justice. We feel that Andrews could write his own obituary much better than we tut then somebody would crab because the board wasn ' t working hard enough. How- ever, we have heard some testimonials and, grab it from us, he ' s some prodigy. Actor, debator, ball player, fusser — run the whole gamut of the all-around man and you won ' t miss Andy on a single point. m

1915 RAVELI NGST m ALICE WINBIGLER, A. M. Mathematics. Permit us to present the Dean-o ' -wom- en. She is variously known as Lady Alice, Alice in Wonderland, or Sweet Alice Ben Bolt. She has some very decided opinions which she occasionally airs at meetings for girls only. It is a problem how she will spend her time after the Dorm, is finished. LUTHER EMERSON ROBINSON, A. M. English. Prof. Robbie is the man who says he doesn ' t feel the need of a watch. Sometimes when we look back over our shoulder to see lim stumbling up the slope five minutes lat for class we are glad he doesn ' t. This gentle- man is the inventor of the famous interpolat- ed what? RUSSELL McCULLOUGH STORY, A. M. History. Story left us in February to sing Illi- nois Loyalty down at Champaign. He was the Roosevelt leader of the faculty progressives. Well do we remember his doctrine of too-much- paternalism. He was a good friend and ca- pable professor. DAVID CARL SHILLING, A. M. History. This prize package we got from Miami University. We might make a pun and say that pound of guinea or sovereign would de- scribe him better than Shilling but we are pre- vented from doing this because he insists on calling himself Silling. He is the well set up, blue-eyed Saxon who hangs out at the History room and the ball park. Definition — The faculty is a body of members paid to help the Seniors run the school. n m

ALBERT FULTON STEWART, A. M. Latin and Greek. Polly owes his nick-name to a certain bird of gay plumage which wastes its time squawking peoples names in the backwoods of the Amazon or in wire cages. He used to spend his time trying to teach Latin to the preps but of late he has fallen into the habit of meeting Prof. Davis ' s Greek classes. DAVID F. DAVIS, A. B. Greek. Davis is the man who used to streak across the campus with an eight-foot stride. Jim Root has gone into bankruptcy since he lost Profs, patronage. Davis used to take his recreation by starting something in faculty meeting for the triumvirate to set on and in coaching the track team. ANNA McCORKLE, A. B. Instructor in Mathematics. Did you ever come across the campus about 10 p. m. and notice a light burning in the architect ' s office ? Did you also notice that no one was in the office ? Can you guess the reason ? JOHN FERGUSON. Assistant to President. Mr. Ferguson spends his time swinging around the circuit as advance agent for the college. Occasionally he beats the brush and drives in a new student. His big week comes when he goes with the glee club to keep the boys from smoking, singing, shooting pool and playing ruhmy on the train. We proffer the ointment as we give the thrust. H m
