Y., Member of Delta Tau FraternitygAmerican Physical Society, Fellow of the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science, Professor of Physics at Bates since 1907. Professor Whitehorne is very patient with us. He sometimes confuses us, with such units as joules, gauses, microfarads, ab- volts, and abohms, but we come to grasp their meaning in the course of time. JOHN MURRAY CARROLL, A,M. Fm going to give a little written -work to be done outside, but you may false your time to complete it.

Prof. Carroll is one of our Politicians. He teach-es and always stands for a better gov- ernment and better leaders. GEORGE EDWIN RAMSDELL, A.M. Now if you'll work just a little harder- Born in Turner, Maine, April, 18753 Bates Colllege, 19033 taught at Maine Central In- stitute, 1904-05, graduate work at Harvard with A.M., 1906-075 Professor of Mathematics at Bates College since 1907, member of Phi Beta Kappa. , Prof. Ramsdell has a tedious undertaking in making us grasp such mathematical terms as cosines, inverse functions, loci, subtan- gents, and subnormals. He has one ad- vantage over most of the Profs: in that his senior classes are small. This is not, how- ever, any fault of Prof. Ramsdell. He has ever encouraged: students 'through analytic geometry for he knows that it has dampened many a mathematical asplrant. 14
