Student in New York State School of Cer- amics, '02-'053 Art Students' League, New York City, '06-'075 Teacher of Art, Ethical Culture School, New York City, '05-'l0. 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

B., Worcester Polytechnic lnstitute, chusetts State Normal School, 05-'06, Member of Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi. HEN it became necessary to select a new instructor for the College of Ceramics last fall, Mr. Cummings was chosen, first, because he was a good fellow in his Alma Mater, having snapped up all the literary honors and social distinctions in sight during his sojourn there, secondly, because his hair made such a beautiful harmony with the bricks in the Ceramic building. During his first year at Alfred he has become recognized as an expert in scientific clay work, a hard worker, and a sympathetic instructor. l lJYER B. LAKE, S. M.

UDDICNLY a swarm of Gases with endless tails of formulae rose in the air and glared at me from the darkness. Surprised, I asked who had raised these spirits with their suspicious odors. And the voice replied: It isa master to whom the spirits are subject. He has controlled them only a year hut his broad intelligence and persistent labor have achieved splendid results. So modest and quiet is he that you hardly suspect the stores of knowledge he possesses. There he is now. I looked,---and behold, it was Professor Lake. Then the clock struck nine and l awoke, an hour too late for Qualitative. 16 'l0g Pupil of E. Harlow Russell, Massa-
