PROFESSOR GREGORY is an accomplished gardener . . . Likes picking flowers best though. Is allergic to horses, but not to driving when she has the gas . . . Comes from Massachusetts where she is a trustee of Mount Holyoke. PROFESSOR LATHAM, at Barnard since 1914, still has traces of her Mississippi drawl. Her unique playwriting course is a Barnard favorite . . . Favors the outdoor life — garden- ing, fishing and riding. PROFESSOR PEARDON hails from British Columbia . . . Has toured Europe . . . Once re- ferred to himself as an Anglomaniac . . . Left Cornell for Barnard in 1923 . . . Claims the big difference between Barnard and Columbia classes is that men talk more and read less. MR. WILLIAMSON, Columbia ' 38, now at work on his Ph.D. thesis . . . Thinks that long shirts worn outside skirts, knitting and the reading of Saturday Review of Literature should be dropped from classes permanently. L3
