First row: Messrs. Chase and Kilner. Second row: Messrs. Knight, Friedlander, Durham. Absent: Mr. Putnam. Seated: Mr. Eipper. First row: Mr. Coale, Mr. Field. Second row: Mr. Hessel, Mr. Guthridge. E GLIH ARTHUR C. CHASE, A.B., M.A. His A.B. at Harvard and his M.A. at Yale hardly iustify an adequate description of Mr. Chase's vast familiarity with the English language. Mr. Chase is truly a dedicated scholar in many diversified fields, and his subtle humor and mighty bass voice add much to the interest of his classes. GLEN KILNER, A.B., M.A. Mr. Kilner's range of knowledge of English can be expressed succinctly just by his row of degrees, including the Ph.D. on which he is now workingf Who will forget the sinister nature of his humor, or the irony of his famous term, Santa Claus test ? JOHN B. KNIGHT, A.B. Mr. Knight's ar- rival at-Berkshire was another indication of the growing connection between Berk- shire and Kenyon College. Beside teach- ing English, he took it upon himself to be advisor to the Trail editorial staff, and if you don't think that's a job, well . . . EMMONS PUTNAM, A.B. Mr. Putnam was the right man for teaching freshman Eng- lish. A solid background in the elements of English, coupled with a unique talent for teaching them, and an especial ad- ministrative aptitude, made him a mainstay at Berkshire. JAMES DURHAM, A.B. The other teacher of freshman English was James Durham. More than a scholar and teacher, Mr. Dur- ham devoted much time to the wrestling team, thereby showing promise as a valuable member of the faculty. WALTER JOHN FRIEDLANDER-See Foreign Languages. MATHEMATICS DAVID C. EIPPER, A.B. After distinguish- ing himself as a student at Harvard, Mr. Eipper began to teach at Berkshire in l9OB. Since then his reputation as an excellent schoolmaster has been un- equalled in his field. DOUGLAS B. FIELD, A.B. Mr. Field's thorough knowledge of his subiect cou- pled with the right showmanship for teaching it made a memorable and re- spected figure in the Berkshire faculty. JOHN H, HESSEL, A.B. Mr. Hessel ma- jored in mathematics at Harvard and then taught at Berkshire for two years, Next year he goes to Sterling School, but his teaching talents will be missed here. JAMES JOHNSON COALE-See Sciences. ROBERT PHIPPS GUTHRIDGE, B.S. Mr. Guthridge's first year at Berkshire proved a successful one. In both classroom work and in coaching his talent as a clever strategist was evident.
