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.

Page Twent y Now, we must hasten to the Department of Enghsh. There is Professor Smith. He is somewhat eccentric and hard to get acquainted with, but he has a lot of friends, and we have it on best authority that he is a prince of a fellow. He is doing a real service for us students by building up a greater activity in debating. Miss Stearns is certainly a nice young lady, and those who have a right to know say that her classes are most pleasant. If you want to glean some real benefit from literature, just try a class under Miss Stearns or Miss Mclntyre. By the way. Miss Stearns has been to Europe and she might tell you something about the country which is still so old-fashioned as to think that a man ought to be able to have a drink when he wants it. I would introduce you to Mrs. DeKay, but she is somewhat of a fraternity man and is busy right now. She ' s the little lady standing there in that group of potential Edwin Booths. Have I skipped someone? Oh, yes, by all means let me present you to Captain Daly, who is in charge of Wyoming ' s brave little army. He is all courtesy and nicety. But let me warn you, don ' t join the army. Now, let ' s go meet Miss Sanford. She is the dean of women, and knowing your propensity for fussing, I would say that you would surely want to meet her. Treat her right, old punk, and I ' ll tell the world Miss Sanford will give you a square deal. If you ever find yourself at loss on any subject and want to consult a walking encyclopedia, I ' ll introduce you to Dean Albertsworth, who tries to bore the law into a crowd of numskulls. He is doing a real service for the students by holding a weekly seminar at the Cathedral and from all reports he is downright interesting. Of all the characters on the campus, there is none like Coach. He can lick his weight in wildcats, and if you are an athlete, I ' ll tell the world he ' ll see to it that you fare well at the University. With this I present you to Coach Corbett, who tells ' em all what to do. That kindly looking gentleman there reading the Chicago Tribune is Doctor Peterson. He ' s the best informed man on the campus concerning politics and lots of other useful things (politics is a good subject to stay away from on the campus). I guess you are rather tired shaking hands now but if you want to get the inside dope on the rest of them we ' ll sure hand it to you. I ' ll assure you, though, that on the whole they are the most congenial lot of professors that you ' ll find on any campus in America.
