Xearly every student in college has had occasion to visit Janie ' s little office, and all are sure to get a warm welcome. He neglects to furnish his guests with cigars, but that is p robably an oversight. In his wide experi- ence he has probably heard more lies than any other member of the faculty. Artliur Crawford Jewett. B. S. Associate Professor of Mtihanieat - ' ni iueering. Horn at Bath, Me., .August 26, 1878; Massachusetts Institute of Technolosiv, B.

He has had the responsibility of the mechanical engineering depart ment thrust upon him but with his trusty tiun(n) he will probably make his mark. Wcltoii Marks Muiisoii, M. S., I ' ll. D.

Chipper looks like tlie villi. n in a lo, 20 and 30 cent show, and were it not that we know his kind disposition, many of us would be afraid of him. He belongs to the Farm Gang. and is chieily noted for the (iualit of the apples that he raises, whicli many a time have ' found their way, via the suit case, to the students ' rooms.

Johnny cuts chapel systematically and cannot find it in his heart to refuse to cancel notifications sent to students for the same reason, hence his popularity. He runs a cxnch course but we hear that nc. t year they are to have a course embracing mechanics, chemistry, structures, etc. Then all of Johnny ' s students will turn over and die. Allen Hlliiigtoii Rogers, M. A. Professor of Civics and Constitutional Laic. Born at Kllsworth. Me., April 23, 1855; Bowdoin College, B. A., 187(); M.

There is little occasion to euloerize to any great extent upon Allie ' s good qualities, as they are too well known to all the student body. A short and easy way to get rid of this long and wearisome task is to quote a saying which is always quite prevalent about registration time and which sneaks for itself: — You ' re making a big mistake if you graduate from the t ' niver- sity of Maine without taking anything under Allie Rogers. Lucius Herbert Merrill. B. S. Professor of Biological Chemistry and Chemist in Experiment Station . Born at . uburn. Me.. October 1. 1857; University of Maine, B S., 188:i; Chemist of Experiment .Station, 188() — ; Instructor of Biolojjical Chemistry, 1897-98 ; Professor of Biological Chem- istry, 1898 — ; member of American Association for t!ie Advance- ment of .Science ; Societj- for the Promotion of .Agricultural .Science ; K , i: X. His habit of always picking out the longest prayers in the chapel praver book tnakes him out much worse than he really is. The thing for which he is especially noted is not so much the way in which he always cracks jokes in biological chemistry but more the evident anger with which he greets any jovial appreciation of them on the part of the sttidents.

Houey is without doubt a poet of considerable repute, but this is uol all. In addition to his literary talents he is no mean nnisician. a fact which is impressed upon the students whenever the University Hymn 5S0 is sung in chapel. James Stacy Stevens, M. S., Ph. D. Dean in the College of Arts and Sciences and Professor of P iysics. Born at I.iman, N. Y., August I ' l, 18(i4; I ' niversity of Rochester, B. S., 1885; M. S., 1888; University of Syracuse, M.

When anyone wants to w-ring a few more dollars out of the student body for athletics or specials or any old thin , they have only to go to Jinmiie and persuade him to spring a few new jokes at a chapel meeting. In fact Jiinmie is coming to have quite a reputation as the Athletic Associa- tion ' s expert pickpocket (money getter). Gilbert Mottier Gowell, M. S. Professor of Ani)iial hidiistry. Born at Bowdoin. Me., March 14, 1845; I ' niversit}- of MaiiK. 1894; Supcriiitfiidunt of Karm. 1SS1 -H7 ; Instructor in Agricul- ture. 1891-00 ; Professor of Animal Industry, 1893 — ; Maine Kxpcrinicnt Station, 1897. ' I ' he ilowery language with which Prof. Gowell discoursed upon the ' • Maine Cow down at Piltsfield has made him famous all over the country and was doubtless responsible in a large part for the handsome prizes offered to agricultural students at the University of Maine. But if the stu- dents ever get to the point where they are on an ec ual footing socially and intellectually with the Maine Cow ' ' there will no longer be occasion for them to study.
