22 THE PRISM 1907 Wilbur Fiske Jackiiian, B. S., Ph. C. Professor of Pharmacy. Horn at Dryilcn, Mich., February 20, 18(iO; rniversitv of Michisian, H. S., lSH(j; Ph. C, 1887; Dru ij;ist in IX-troil, Mi ' ch., 1887415; Instructor in Pharmacy at University of Maine, 1895- 98; . ssistant Professor of Pharmacy, 1898-1900; Professor of Pharmac}-, 1900 — ; member of American Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation ; honorarj ' member of Maine Pharmaceutical Associa- tion ; corres])ondinf; member of Maine .• ca lemy of Medicine and Science; author of articles in various pharmaceutical journals; K . 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.

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.

We absolutely refuse to roast our French professor even if we had any grounds for doing so, which we have not. He is one of the few men whom it is impossible to bluff (that is. for anyone except co-eds). . s a permanent V. M. C. . . man of exemplary habits tie has long been the model for many of our students to mould their careers after. Harold Sherburne Boardman, C. E. Professor of Civil Engineering. Born at Bangor, Me., March 31, 1874; L niversit3- of Maine, B. C. E., 189.=); C.

His looks belie him, because those who know him say that he is tiot really dangerous. The one thing that has puzzled the Civils this year is, how a man who has so much to do as Prof. Boardman must have, can find tiuie and opportunity to go into the sheep raising business. George Davis Chase, Ph. IJ. Professor of Latin Language and Literature. Born at Dighton, Mass., Oct. 27, 1867; Harvard, A. B., 1889; Sub-master and teacher of L.itin and Mathematics in Bristol Academy, Taunton. Mass., 1889-94; Harvard Graduate School, 1894-97; ' Harvard, A. M., 189.5; Ph.

I ' rof. Chase has been with us only a short time, but in that time we have heard no kicks against him, and therefore it is safe to say that he is pr(.l)ably all right. He can make just as good a bluff in I tin as any of them, and that covers a multitude of sins.
