Babe has been knocked so often about his celebrated perpetual prayer that we really haven ' t the face to hit him again in that quarter. He succeeded in butting his way into Who ' s Who some lime ago and since that time has contented himself with undermining the reputation of several harmless worms. John Homer Huddilstuii, M. A., Ph. D. Professor of Greek. Born at Cleveland, O., February 9, 18()9 ; Baldwin Univer- sity, B. A., 1890; M. A., 189i; ; Harvard, B. .A., 1893; Munich, Ph.

Paddy thinks he is Irish and the rest of us think he ought to be. Once in a while he makes a speech iu chapel, and he is much more con- siderate than the other professors, for he laughs when he is springitig a joke, so that we know when to applaud. Wheu he was (juite young some- one tacked the name Homer onto him, thereby limiting his lifework to the study of Greek. Gilman Arthur Drew, Ph. D. Professor of Biology- Born at Xewton, Iowa, November 15, 18()8; University of Iowa. B. S.. 1890; Johns Hopkins University, Pli. D.. 1898; Assistant Principal Hazel Dell . cadeniy. Newton.

Hug is certainly bughouse on one thing and that is his pro] cn- sity for springing prelims on his class in biology. It is quite noticeable that the members of his division always get to the recitation room early in order to get a back seat.

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.

Jacknian, like .Hubert, has a decided aversion to chapel exercises and whenever he does go it ' s a cinch bet that something of special interest is going to happen. Bnt he is no hypocrite, like some of the chapel leaders who work their list of cuss words to the limit and then call down blessings on the whole ranch from the pulpit. It might be added that he is a star in his line. Ralph Kiicelaiid Jones, B. S. I.ihrarian. Born at liaiiijor. Me., .Augusts, 18(;(;; University of Maine, 188G ; . mherst School of I.,ibrary and Pxonomy, 1897 ; Kngaged in business, 1880-97; Uibrarian of University of Maine, 1897 — ; member of .American Library Association ; Kastern Maine Library Club ; Maine Librarj- Association; t K , li H il. when, about two years ago, Goat interferred with the discus in its flight out on Alumni Field, the students were afraid that the ardour with which he was accustomed to take hold of athletic interests might become dampened, bnt such was not the case. He is certainly a most generous per- son, because after finding that the income derived from the college book store was far greater than he could use to advantage he turned the graft over to Sampson liros. William Daniel Hurd, B. S. Professor of Agriculture. Born at Dewitt, Mich.. Dec. 19, 1875 ; Michi.s;an .Agricul- tural College, B. S., 1899; Nurserj- Inspector for State of Illinois, 1900; Instructor Lanciu.g Il ' i.gh School, INIich., 1900-01 ; Professor of Horticultural. School of Practical .Agriculture and Horticulture, Boroclilf Manor, K. V., 1901-03; Kxleiision work for Rhode Ishind State College, summer, 1903; Professor of .Agriculture, I ' niversity of JIaine, 1903 — . We dislike to think what a sad state of affairs would exist among the Maine granges did they not have Prof. Hurd to pump generous supplies of hot air into their midst. His courses have proved too tempting for some of the engineering students to resist and during the past year he has received many new recruits from among them.
