Page Sixteen Our Friends, the Memoers of the Facult y E believe that tribute too great can not be phrased to express our regard for the faculty that has meant so much to us, not merely as instructors Wi in the bits of learning that we might exploit, but in the inspiration their I association has been to us. The difference between a university and a library is the faculty. The thing which we can gain from a college that we can not from the library is not knowledge, for all the knowl- edge in the world may be gleaned from the books that make up a library ; but on the other hand it is the association which we enjoy with those who are matured in judgment, pure of heart, and magnanimous of soul. We of the class of ' 23 appreciate the sacrifices that our faculty have made, the trials they have endured, the labor they have spent, and the kindnesses that they have bestowed out of the greatness of their hearts, that we might be better and happier men and women. We realize it, and because we do appreciate, we thank you — simply we say thank you, because we knew that you will see in the simplicity of expression the richness of meaning that is in our hearts and minds as we say it.

Page Eighteen ' Allow Me to Introduce- It c: c w ERTAIN things just have to be put up with, and we suppose that under this category of necessary evils would come the faculty. As one of our assembly acquaintances has told us the ideal school would be one where there were no professors to bother the students or one where there were no students to bother the professors. At first thought we are inclined to concur. But on the second consideration, we are really quite fond of our faculty. Some of the things that we learn from them are absolutely essential to our peace and happiness. But for the sake of any who might wish to become better acquainted with our professors, allow us to introduce a few of them. We feel that we are quite competent for this duty, knowing them as we do after a period of three years ' close contact. First, of course, I must introduce the president, commonly known as Prexy, or in some cases Aven. This latter only by those who have become very familiar due to multitudinous visits for assembly absences and one thing and another. Before proceedmg I must tell you that Doctor Nelson is the best friend a student ever had. Then, if you have not already met him, it is wise to meet the Registrar. By all means get on the good side of Ralph, or Mac as he is sometimes called. Mac is just a strapping youth like yourself so do not make the mistake of calling him Mr. McWhinnie. The small man that you see passing through the hall there is Dean Soule, whom you will surely become better acquainted with later on. The longer you are here, the better acquainted you become. All in all, the Dean is a mighty fine chap, and believe us, he has some son. Just ask him about his son. But let us hurry on. We must go talk to Doctor Hebard. Be sure to get a class under her, because she is a criterion of general information. Her specialties are the Maternity Bill and Woman Suffrage. Be sure you are on the right side of these questions before you talk to her. Next we shall call on Miss White, who teaches History, and if you will take a friend ' s advice, don ' t take a course under her unless you intend to learn History. Now, if you don ' t mind mountain climbing, I am sure you will want to go up to the third floor and meet Doctor Downey, the little lady who teaches Psychology. The first time you meet her you might not think you will like her, but the more you know her, the more you think of her. She wrote Alma Mater and lots of other things, including some learned exegeses on Psychology.
