e eramo room. His pupils receive extraordinary discipline in the faculties of the memory, as he is quite exact, but the greatest benefit to be derived from his courses is the knowledge of the language being studied. The College of Arts and Sciences teaches the student above all to think for himself. It is for the most part under such men as Dr. Kcp| cl, who has never been given a fair mathematical problem which he could not solve; Professor Ault, the progressive thinker, and Dr. Sims, the profound student of men and modern political conditions, that the young man acquires this self-reliance. These men teach a student that men, no matter how highly the world may honor them, arc all mere human beings, very susceptible to mistakes. One should learn to form independent judgments and to stand by them. N. L. SIMS. A.M., PII.D. e K. It. FLINT. PII.D If a young man has a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences is he not, then, efficiently prepared to fight life's battles ? People may talk of following exclusively special lines of work, but after all it is the general culture and the liberal education, which count most in present-day affairs. Are not accuracy, broad vision, and an ability to think independently the greatest benefits of a college career ? Thirteen

Anderson, there is no hope, and who can say that accuracy is not a quality to be desired for any line of work ? Dr. James M. Farr, commonly known among the boys as “Jimmy , is a lover of fun, and he gets all the fun he wants. Each year the registrar sends him scores of freshmen, and the doctor makes as much fun as he wants of this material. However. “Jimmy” is fond of mixing with the boys, even using their campus language at times, and becoming one of them himself again. It has been said that he makes a course for students just as hard, and yet as fair, as one possibly could. In other words he teaches a young man how to work. But the return for labor done for Dr. Farr is a passport which, if rightly used, will enable a person to enter the courts of kings, to partake of the best fruits this world can offer. Dr. Flint is the cool. calm, rapid worker who teaches the young man how to expedite business. He is never in a hurry; wise men never are. One speech a year by him is enough to keep the boys in good health the whole nine months. Any problem related to chemistry and science can be easily solved by this man, who has devoted his life to the e lines of work. From the courses under Dr. Flint the student receives training which prepares him for professional work. Of the efficient, business-like professors, none stands out more prominently than Dr. Crow, the master of modern languages. Not a mistake escapes his eagle eye in the class- J. M. KARR.
