Gesina A. F. De Hole, 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 represents an authority and is deemed as such by her pupils. Her background of general labor- atory knowledge brings forth those ever-ready and satis- fying answers; her characteristic sense of humor brings forth that ever-welcome and refreshing smile. Frederic Cowles Schmidt, Sc.M., Ph.D. Professor of Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry under the tutelage of Dr. Schmidt assumed a new and lively interpretation for the students this past year. His informal humor, practical psycho- logical approach, profound knowledge of his subject, and the diversity of his cultural interests made him a valu- able friend and instructor. Through these mediums, that which would otherwise prove so difficult an undertaking, became a thoroughly interesting and pleasant subject. Katherine E. Glavin Registrar All things gravitate to and from the main office and thus our associations with Miss Glavin are 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 sympathetic attitude arc more than appreciated by those of us with whom she comes in contact.

Fharmakon Janis L. Best, Ph.C., B.S., M.T. Instructor i?i Pharmacy This year marked the end of Miss Best’s instructorship in the pharmacy department, but the memory of her pleasant lectures and understanding guidance in the lab- oratory will long be remembered. Though her absence is keenly felt, wc wish her success and happiness in her new endeavor. To her successor, Miss Mary Davidge, we extend our heartfelt wishes for success. Lauren R. Hanmer, Ph.C.. B.S. Instructor in Materia Medica Botany The details of botanical nature are thoroughly under- stood and presented by Mr. Hanmer, affording the pharmacy students a background in the knowledge of materials utilized in their profession. From a personal angle, wc have found his informality an invitation to self-expression, and his courteous, gentlemanly manner in class, an inspiration for like conduct. John Dwyer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology Dr. Dwyer comes to us from St. Francis’ College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham University’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 Uni- versity, Columbia University and institutions in the midwest. We have found him to be keen of intellect, professional 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. Fifteen

Pharmakon 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 appre- ciate his tolerance and efforts to make them glib in both oral and written English, and we arc 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 of pharmacy, will not be confined to figures, but transferred to the scrupulous precision required of one in the art of prescription com- pounding. He is thus to be lauded for the formation of his all-important characteristic in our future pharmacists. John J. Clemmer, B.S., MX). Director of Bender Laboratory and Professor of Pathology The Bender Laboratory, offering Medical Technology studies and affiliated bacteriological work, is ably guided by Dr. Clemmer, its director. His desire to engage the interests of the students in acquisition of knowledge rather than credits, reveals a sincere interest in propa- gating to society such a benevolent work. He imparts this spirit to his co-workcrs, who thus unified, present a cor- related series of instructions. Seventeen
