the art of clay working, he read to us Tennyson and talked on politics and education. We believe that he possessed what he urged upon each of us, a liberal education. Here's Professor Childs, another scientist for the next place. Deep explanations and intricate computations were his 'long suits,' while next to Chemistry and Physics, football and Field Day were dear to his heart. He was always interested in college activities and could be depended on for anything from ' moral support ' to excused classes on the day of a game. Professor Wilcox, the enthusiast of the faculty, has the end place. All the Freshmen had a 'crush ' on him, but after we grew too old for ' crushes ' we learned to respect his earnest character and to make a comrade of him in all our college interests. Christian Associations, dramatics, athletics,-every part of college life received his eager support. Now, doesn't the front row look familiar and comforting ? I feel as though I were really in the old chapel looking at them. The first in the back row is Professor Annas, most familiar on a piano stool. And what music he could produce with his nimble fingers ! Strike up a college song in any key whatever and lead the whole college, and then what the other professors did by their speeches, he did by his sympathetic playing, he inspired and thrilled us with the beauty of music. Beside him goes solemn-visaged Professor Clawson. In his chapel speeches he only gave us glimpses into the funds of knowledge which were stored behind those quizzical eyes, while few men had a kinder heart than his or a more generous spirit toward the students. Here's 'Jimmy ' Bennehoff for the next place, the most jovial member of the faculty. Taking and making jokes came easily to him, and his popularity was largely due to this. He was always willing to help one, while his enthusiasm for his work greatly increased the ardor of his students. The next is Professor Crandall, the presiding genius of the shops. In him was combined practical and visionary common sense, wisdom, and deep thinking in a rare degree. While doing his every-day work he was always looking toward the betterment of the world in general, and his clever head and hands together wrought out many a beautiful idea or ideal. The next seat is occupied, if not filled, by little Miss Hay- dock, our artist. She showed us in her unobtrusive way, by living her sincere, serene life, what art can do to make the world more beautiful, happier, and better. You, Penelope, are following in her footsteps, and to her you owe most of your success. Miss Hart looms rather large as compared with Miss Hay- dock, doesn't she ? But her body is none too big for her brains, for she was our classicist and what she didn't know about Greek and Latin wouldn't fill a page. Her broad, intellectual mind seemed to be above petty things and her way of looking at life might well be emulated. Here is our Professor Clarke, a man scholarly beyond his years, and one who was honored for his earnest, sincere living and tireless effort for the students. He was one of the 'all round' members of the faculty, and was ever ready to help individuals or organizations as far as lay in his power. Next to him goes Professor Titsworth, whom we liked while we dreaded his long lessons and stiff examinations, for we knew that he was doing it all ' for our good,' and that there were few better teachers on the faculty. The last but certainly not the least portraitis of Professor Greene, the man of brawn. He was the wonder of all on the athletic field, and the status of athletics rose by leaps and bounds when he was director, do you remember? And he had the deserved reputation of being strong physically, morally, and spiritually. Oh, Penelope, my heart is full when I look at these por- traits. We owe so much to our dear faculty and we can never repay them. I only hope they know that we are truly grateful and that we are wishing many blessings for each and every one.
