HE Practical Spirit walked the streets of Alfred, sorely disheartened. On every hand there were huildings and equipments designed to introduce ideals, morals, and such intangihle things into the minds of students. The Practical Spirit sighed and looked disgusted. But just then he saw Professor Crandall. Under his arm the professor carried a saw, in his hand a hammer, and his pocket hulged with things too numerous to mention. His inventive mind was full of practical ideas that were sure of realization. The Practical Spirit hegan to smile, Professor Crandall hegan to work. The one has continued smiling and the other working ever since. , . l C1.Aar:Ncia lrliON CLARKE, PH. B., C.l9U8l Prqfixrsor qfPdffo.tapd.r nm! ElfllLYlfi07l. Ph.

COLLEGE course means a great mental reconstruction: old idols are dethroned and truer gods put in their places. The process is fraught with danger, and the adoption of a cynical l!lf.f.l'L'Z:fllif'L' philosophy hy the student is often the result. Happy the class with an instructor whose touch on heliefs long considered sacred is so gentle and yet so firm as that of Professor Clarke! 'Teaching sturdy loyalty to the past achievements of the race, he suhstitutes for inadequate heliefs a philosophy athrill with love for humanity, deeply conscious of life s prohlems, and healthfully opti- mistic for the future. 1.5

E are liable to think of an artist as one who indulges in sunset visions and lives in an ideal world of symmetry and heauty. Not so with Miss liinns. Though an experienced artist, she is quite at home in this workaday world of ours, where some are horn crooked, some acquire crookedness, and things get snarled up once in a while in spite of us. Practical and wide awake, in the classroom and out, she sees the sunrise as well as the sunset, and translates her visions of ideality into the homely hut nohle language of labor and service. J.

OMR men dazzle hy theatrical displays of hrilliant thought and pointed epigranig Professor Norwood convinces hy the logic of patient study and hroad experience. With him there is no aristoemcy of learning. He is a student everytime and everywhere, ready to learn from the greenest freshman and competent to teach the wisest senior. Though he has studied at many different universities, his quiet, unpretentious manner makes his students feel that he is a comrade with them in a mutual search for Truth. His first year's lahor in his Alma Mater as associate professor of history and political science has heen eminently successful. 15
