At Malloy's and the Wyman, coffee houses of excellent repute, ,K Bill turned his attention to arguments worthy of the calibre of Addison, J N . .1 Steele and Swift. His cutting satire, his faith in The Nation and his dis- ig courses upon the toughness of hamburg were received so cordially that he - Qi i. received his eggs much in the same manner that the Light Brigade received .X l bullets.

QF? rltllllli 1'.xs'l'It't'lrv-:11'm PHILIP BISSEL PLUMB AM Born in Litchfield, Conn., April 28, 1904. Prepared at Litchfield High School, Litclzfeld, Colm.

NEITHER a photographer nor a word artist could do justice to the real Plumb. While not fully appreciated by all he is at least familiar to everyone, how- ever remotely connected with the institution, as well as to every cop, waitress, ballplayer and taxi-cab driver in the city. His chronic good nature is the prima facie evidence for my saying that he hasn't a worry in the world. Phil for often Stony because of his predilection for Geologyj who majors in baseball, tennis and basketball, is the pride and joy of the faculty. He is unquestionably the best athlete on the ineligible list. However, at var- ious times before marks have been issued, he has won victories for Clark, which is indeed remarkable. He invariably walks off with the tennis trophy, meeting all comers from students or faculty. His fondness for the courts led him to take the roller as a souvenir although he has received more letters than Harry S. New. One memorable day Plumb made breakfast and all his classes on time, whereupon the school was closed for a week and the flag kept at half-mast due to the serious condition of several professors. Negotiations with several newspapers have finally weaned Phil from his heart's desire of graduate work in Geography and we expect he will soon have Grantland Rice and Bill Cunningham looking for holes. Alma Mater regretfully bids him adieu and 'er son will make good. wifi U21

'Ei fl wk Ks. ,. r x a . 5 I 'Ki is A A ki NX 'ii' ISLTHOUGH the poser for the above picture has not been with us of a suHfi- Fw , ' cient length to warrant a close association of all with him, those who have Im been fortunate enough to gain his friendship have found him one of the il Nl, most delightful sons of Clark. His real nature must have been foreseen when he was christened Frank, for his most dominant and desirable char- xy acteristic is his sincere and heartfelt frankness. ' ij, V ' The greatest aim of a college course for him is the fultilling of certain li I, prerequisites before his pursuance of a ministerial career. Frank intends to -,Q ,fl convert others to the righteous way, and if this can be accomplished by good 'Q I5 example and upright living, he will have found his allotted profession when A 'll' ordained. IT: F, Frank has devoted the major part of his epistolary efforts for the approval of a certain young lady of whom we have heard much but know little. For 'ii V. ' this reason, we ha-ve not been favored with any literary masterpieces on his QA I part, they having been confined to the aforementioned female. . 'A J ,dr Thinking himself admirably suited for mechanical pursuits, he first Iii. I5 associated himself with Rensselaer, but soon gave up the attempt to study 'Iii the aesthetics at Clark-especially Greek and Art Appreciation. la Q Since'Frank is human,. he has his vices as well as. his virtues. Foremost :ii of these is his craving desire for abundance and quality oft .food, as may'be 'KJ ,. ' well borne out by any who have watched his antics at the dining hall. I think 'Q IQ, that we may safely assume that when Frank is stationed with a good icongre- ' , N, gation and a first-class cook, he will be indeed lit to write the inspirational IR F, sermons which he now aspires.
