gUemtric Claude M. Reed, Ph.C.. B.A., A.M. Instructor in Chemistry Chemistry, so comprehensive a subject and so vitally con- nected with Pharmacy, begets a fascination and desire for its knowledge. Professor Reed’s encouragement of this attraction, demonstrated through his sincere interest in his department, and his ability to satisfy the receptive attitude of his “men”, through specialized study on his part, make him the ideal for his position. His willingness to see things from the student’s viewpoint in his realization of their yet embrvonic background, makes him kindly tolerant, though not faultily condescending, to our inaccuracies in so precise a subject. Needless to say, these qualities label him a favorite. Homer L. Nelms, M.D. Instructor in Physiology and First Aid We all like Dr. Nelms. This is a plain but expressive and all-embracing statement. Who could resist that paternal in- terest, displayed both during lectures and in administering medical attention to so many of our students. His prominence as physician and surgeon enhance his qualifications to instruct others in the elements of physiology' and emergency treatments. We feel indebted to him for giving us his precious time, for encouraging scholastic endeavors by his yearly award, and for his admission of his personal enjoyment in being with us. David Hutchinson, B.A., M.A., A.M., B.D., Ph.D. Lecturer iji Jurisprudence and Political Science So versatile an education as is possessed by Dr. Hutchinson, renders him a revered and esteemed associate of our college. His myriad experiences in teaching law and in actual legal procedures, carry his lectures from the theoretical to the realistic and evoke confidence in him as an authority. His sense of humor in his amusing relations brings in the all-important refreshment in his lectures. Twelve

$fjarmafeon John Edward Wolff, Ph.C., B.S. Instructor in Pharmacy Thoroughness in presentation can demand exactitude in return. This understanding between teacher and students proves the admirable keynote of Mr. Wolff’s classes. We have found him to be the encouraging moderator in extra-curricular activities as well as a refined and reserved instructor and friend. Such combination of personality and competency, desirable in a teacher of a core subject, are not wanting in our pharmacy instructor. Lauren R. Hanmer, Ph.C., B.S. Instructor in Materia Medica and Botany The details of botanical nature are thoroughly understood and presented by Mr. Hanmer. affording the pharmacy students a background in the knowledge of materials utilized in their profession. From a personal angle, we have found his inform- ality an invitation to self-expression, and his courteous, gentle- manly manner in class, an inspiration for like conduct. John Dwyer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology One of the most recent additions to our faculty is Dr. Dwyer who comes to us from St. Francis’ College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham Univer- sity’s College of Pharmacy and graduate school. Having merited an A.B. degree from St. Peter’s College, Jersey City, his pursuit of still higher education was realized at Fordham University, Columbia University and institutions in the mid- west. Our acquaintance with him, though brief, has been of sufficient duration to perceive that he is keen of intellect, pro- fessional in demeanor, exacting in conduction, yet kindly patient in the lecture room. His efficiency is an asset to the students and to the prestige of our college. We sincerely welcome him as an associate of A. C. P. Eleven

Pfjarmafeon Harold W. Blodgett, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Instructor in English Ever patient in his endeavors at evoking proper diction and grammatical accuracy, Dr. Blodgett presents a study of serenity and sincerity to his students. They appreciate his tolerance and efforts to make them glib in both oral and written English, and we are certain these efforts have not been fruitless. Chester J. Terrill, Pd.B., B.A., M.A. Instructor in Accounting Professor Terrill’s training of the students in accuracy, in conjunction with the business subjects of pharmacy, will not be confined to figures, but transferred to the scrupulous pre- cision required of one in the art of prescription compounding. He is thus to be lauded for the formation of this all-important characteristic in our future pharmacists. John J. Clemmer, B.S., M.D. Director of Bender Laboratory and Professor of Patology The Bender Laboratory, offering Medical Technology stu- dies and affiliated bacteriological work, is ably guided by Dr. Clemmer, its director. His desire to engage the interest of the students in acquisition of knowledge rather than credits, reveal a sincere interest in propagating to society such a benevolent work. lie imparts this spirit to his co-workers, who thus unified, present a correlated scries of instructions.
