teach Rhetoric and Mathematics. In 1889 she taught Rhetoric alone, but the following year Logic was added and this she taught until 1893. The last term of 1893 and the year of ISQ3-,94 was spent at the University of Michigan, where she received the degree of Ph. M. for work in Rhetoric, English Literature and Aesthetics. Here she worked under the direction of Professor Scott and Professor Demmon of the English department, and Professor Dewey, now in the philos- ophy department at Chicago University. From Professor Blaisdell of Beloit she received some invaluable help, though she never studied directly with him. Perhaps first among the great masters who have been potent in influencing her thought and methods, she would place Plato, fol- lowing him the German idealists, and among modern writers, Carlyle, Browning, Dowden, Pater and Arnold. In 1886 she travelled widely in England, Scotland, Norway, Switzerland, France and Germanyg several of her summers have been spent in walking tours in the Adirondacks and the White Mountains. The strength and extent of our Rhetoric department is almost wholly due to the wise and untiring work of Miss Stevens in its be- half. Many new courses have been lately added by her, and are of especial helpfulness. The class in journalism is not similar to any course in another woman's college. Her class, planned especially for those who are to teach English, is extremely helpful. She con- ducts an enthusiastic class in the development of literary criticism. As a teacher, Miss Stevens has the rare combination of a system- atic harmony of plan and power of inspiration, which is the direct outgrowth of her reverent cultured nature. Many are those students who give voluntary tes-timony to an influence which has lifted life and tl1ought to a higher plane, and has given deeper insight into the realities of life. 16
