GEORGE NORLIN, Ph. D. Professor of Greek. With mild suggestion of half hidden mirth Combined with giving out the best of lore That lingers in the musty classics store, Has brought thee followers of honest worth And liking for thy work has had its birth , Thy illustrations of the days of yore Would make one hear the blue Aegean ' s roar And see departed scenes upon the earth In which we live with all that glamour past. Through such as thee, with full and fluent speech, The spirit of the ages dead shall last And every earnest scholar ' s heart shall reach. The value of thy work is understood By few, — by them ' tis reckoned boundless good. E. BARBER QUEAL, i H Professor of Physiology. Dad is my favorite name, For that I am not much to blame; Always in the past, And e ' er to the last, 1 o the boys I ' ll always be the same. GEO. H. CATTERMOLE, 9. Y 3 . Professor of Diseases of Children. The man with the gladiator steed Does many a good, useful deed ; In curing the child With method so mild. He ' s the fond mother ' s true friend in need. MELANCHTON F. LIBBY, Ph. D. Professor of Philosophy. Serene, ' mid classes ' cares, He dreams and talks, and talking teaches truth. Yes, bold beliefs he holds, and boldly dares Retell his thought, in sooth.

F. B. R. HELLEMS, B. A., Ph. D., l B K. Dean College of Liberal Arts; Professor of Latin. Some long to hear the world proclaim them great, And some there are who long for earthly power, That fickle thing that changes in an hour, While some strive for a happy earthly state: Of all the things that make the soul elate Thou hast the best, — of love the very flower; The love of all thy fellowmen thy dower, Which Fortune gave thee when thou wedded Fate. What more can mortal claim than fellow ' s love, The blessings warm of each and every friend; What more can earth bequeath, or heav ' n above Upon the favored or the chosen send? Thou, Hellems, hast the love of fellowmen, The greatest good within our mortal ken. FRANCIS RAMALEY, © a x, B Professor of Biology. KiH. Who learns of thee, Ramaley, learneth well; Thy methods are correct, thy precepts true, Thy grasp upon fair knowledge old and new Thou dost impart to those who with thee dwell, Striving to see the grace of science ' s spell: Minute details of science to construe And bring before the earnest student ' s view — Fresh beauties of the trees and flowered dell. Although a science is indeed an art Not many they who came beneath thy care With sturdy will and knowledge-seeking heart But come away with wisdom ' s gleanings rare. Teach us to share thy carefulness of mind, And see the truths to which we now are blind. CHAS. A. AYER, II II, Ph. D. Professor of Romance Languages. A store house for sweet thoughts must be thy brain, Or seeds of romance in thy pathway sown, Of southern minds, have come to be thine own Through study of the tongues of France and Spain; Infusing into others ' minds a train Of thought like that of mystic Calderon, To watch the fruit that in those minds has grown Were work well done that merits every gain. Thou teachest well the music and the grace That e ' er abides in tongues of southern clime; The tender passions of a southern race Are taught by thee through works of other time. Entrancing theme is thine, nor only theme, Thy teaching too, is worthy note, we deem. m

JOHN B. PHILLIPS, Ph. D. Professor of Economics and Sociology. When a silver-tongued orator, hot, Spouts all night a lot of his rot, Do I cock up my ear And believe all I hear? I should say, Why, most certainly not. (On leave of absence. Second Semester.) WM. HENRY PEASE, B. A., LL. B. Professor of Lan . I love to talk to you Whenever I see student faces light With deep intelligence, in range of view, To talk is my delight. PROF. J. B. EKELEY, $BK AKE ®NE 2 H Professor of Chemistry. I know my chemistry, And if you don ' t know yours you ' l flunk, that ' s all. I have, for sluffers, no kind sympathy, Who flunk — then raise a squall. RUSSELL D. GEORGE, MASS Professor of Geology. No lady ' s man am I; I spend my time with rocks and rougher things Than dainty womankind. My soul ' s reply To science calling rings.
