True wit is nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought . But ne'er so well expressed. That is what this distinguished gentleman of our faculty has. True wit! One has only to hear his lectures. The size of his classes attests to his popularity. Oxford has left its mark of cultural old-world dignity upon him. Versatile? Yes. He at- tends lectures with the Prince of Wales and is connoisseur in foreign toothpaste. Both with equal ease. FRANK NOWAK 634 Huron Avenue, Cambridge, Mass.

Rather a forceful expression, but so has he burst our bubbles of sentimentality. The Past becomes a reality. The Pilgrims no longer stalk our New England Coasts, as romantic personages, but as Hes-lt and blood men who-according to this historian-have left little on the records of our earlier history from ns ordinary mortals, he wants inspiration not facts. Rather, he prefers the former to the latter. Well-Time will tell! I I WILLIAM BUNNELL Notrrotv 60 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, Mass.

Graduate School, 1920g 11113 K, li 9 11. Assistant Professor of German. Professor Bailey's German classes are a joy to all his students. Those classes are combined courses on philosophy, art fGerman, of cou1'se, and Frenchl with a litle discussion period thrown in for good measure. In his interesting, rambling talks, he guides the young people who are studying under him toward a sure N appreciation of the beauties of the German language-of the 1 beautiful, worthwhile things of life. 01 ro EM11.

Mr. Plath is evidently an instructor who makes subjects in- teresting. lf you don't believe it, watch thc crowds whiclrflock into his classes in Ornithology, Enthymology, and even German! If you want to spend an interesting half-hour just get him to talking about birds and insects. You'll not consider it time wasted. we assure you. JOSEPH RICHARD TAYLOR JosEPH NOYES HASKELL 91 Lincoln Street, Melrose, Mass. A.B., Amherst College, 18965 S.T.D., Andover Theological Seminary, 1900g Andover Fellow at Harvard University, 1910-11. Instructor in German. Professor Haskell is most patient in his treatment of young people who are struggling in the grip of first year German. And we thank him for that rare quality of his-the ability to disregard the small and petty disturbances of life aml to keep his gaze ever on the beautiful and good achievements of human endeavor. 39 Boylston Street, West, Watertown, Mass.

So this year we're not going to mention his slang and movies. We hope he won't feel offended. But we do know that his clever jokes and witty remarks make his classes most interesting. And that registering for one of his courses is a sure F. P. toward an intensely enjoyable two or three hours every week. ' T ge 1 . I 1 ' ,f-'s 5 - s , '.

Studied Archaeology at American School of Classical Studies, Rome, 1901-023 Director of,Teachers' Courses 19132 9 A Z. Professor of Latin.-Dean of Boston University Sum- mer School. Life is too short to be little -nor could the life of our handsome, eternally-young Professor Rice ever be little! Far from letting ancient languages, ancient philosophy, or ancient history claim all of his appreciative attention, he always manages to keep one step ahead of the most modern of the moderns. A vivid comparison between Trimalchio and the principal character in Sinclair Lewis' latest book is but one Of the many ways this keen and very much alive professor stimulates his admiring 40951 if be disciples. DONALD CAMERON 16 Trowbridge Street, Cambridge, Mass. A.B., University Of Texas, 18951 A.M., 1896, A.M., Harvard University, 19005 Ph.D., 1902, University of Berlin, 1902-033 fb It K, K A Southern. Professor of Latin. Latin Comp. every Friday. Sentences with eight or ten verbs- and what each verb can do to the other verbs-and to our marks! We can indeed understand the ground whirl of the perished leaves of hope. But there are stories of Texas days and deeds. and college days and deeds-and we take Pliny hunting and watch him study, and get Hfanniimi over the Alps. Then we aren't sorry we had to take Latin. 11 X E. Professor of Mathematics. ROBERT ERNEST BRUCE 44 Churchill Street, Newtonville, Mass. A.B., Boston University, 19011 A.M., 19053 l'h.D.. 19142 A.M., Harvard University, 1913, fl' It K, There is one question that has always puzzled us since our first day in C. L. A.-How does Professor Bruce get to and from the sixth Hoor? 101' does 'he stay there all the time?t We have watched, but in vain. for never have we seen him coming in or out of the front door, or going up and down the stairs. Can it be that he knows some intricate process of higher mathematics by which one can be transported from place to place without being seen? lf so. we wish he would make public his findings.
