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.

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

Alembic Gesina A. F. De Holl, B.S., M.A. Instructor in Bacteriology and Serology The time-honored reputation of Southern cordiality is demonstrated to us by Miss De Holl. Master of her work, responsive to study and daily experience as the supervisor of the bacteriological unit of the Bender Laboratory, she repre- sents an authority and isc teemed as such by her pupils. Her background of general laboratory' knowledge brings forth those ever-ready and satisfying answers; her characteristic sense of humor brings forth that ever-welcome and refreshing smile. Katherin E. Glavin, Registrar All things gravitate to and from the main office and thus our associations with Miss Glavin arc many and frequent. We find her always ready to be of service and cheerfully so. Her efficiency docs not permit of careless leniency but of patient inducement to compliance; her pleasing manner and sympa- thetic attitude are more than appreciated by- those of us with whom she comes in contact. Sumner B. Cotzin, B.S.; Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry Organic Chemistry is a fool-proof test of the possession, or otherwise, of patience, mainly on the part of the professor. Dr. Cotzin survives the test admirably. With a knowledge of the subject which he presents, comes one also of the difficulties encountered by his students and his tireless repetition brings to him a grateful response. Jesse F. Stinard, A.B., A.M. Instructor in German Since pharmacal studies are almost exclusively scientific, they embrace even a scientific language, of which Professor Stinard is the capable master. His kindly manner and con- sistent class procedures render more facile that which would otherwise prove so difficult an undertaking for those whom he instructs. Fourteen
