Miss Mary Edla Tibbits A.B., Barnard, 1907. Professor of English “Speak now or forever after hold your peace”. How often have we English students trembled before that ominous declaration. Jt meant that a task was at hand or work was in store for us, and work we did. Miss Tibbits is not the kind to tolerate a laggard, and no one feels inclined to doze peacefully in her literature classes. They are far too interesting for that. The cut-and-dried account of an author ' s life is changed into a fascinating story by her personal touches and flashes of subtle wit. Of all her admirable qualities the fairness she exercises and her appreciation of good work appeals most to her classes. Miss Tibbits is always friendly and affable, possess- ing an unusual personality which commands the interest and admiration of all. John M. Loughran A.B., New York University, 1907; A.M., New York Uni- versity, 1908; Graduate Student New York University, 1909-1915. Associate Professor of English Voice is indicative of mental caliber. True as it may be generally, specifically, Professor Loughran is the exemplification nearest to us. Forceful, smooth, brilliant in satire and whim- sical in appreciation, Professor Loughran has won the hearts of his pupils. Without flattery, his lectures are most interesting; first, because they are thoughtful; and second and most im- portant, because of their remarkable delivery. Debonair, courteous and fatherly, Professor Loughran is the true educator throughout; the type of educator who sees the best in students and who consequently succeeds in bringing forward the best that is in them.

Such a man is Doctor Metcali. i he subject he teaches, the work to which his life is devoted, proves that he is big— big in mind and in spirit. The manner in which he lectures reveals a fineness of intellect, a height of culture which enhances the appeal the matter has for us. The illustrations he gives us to clarify the points in his discourse afford us an opportunity to peep into his busy life. There we see that his very being strives to uplift, to improve, to “carry on”. He gives so much of himself to his teaching that those hearing him feel that they know, personally, one of the great scientific artists of the day. Eleven

Miss Renata Marie Remy A.B., Hunter College. Associate Professor of English Occasionally, but rarely, one meets an in- dividual whose personality veritably opens a new field of thought and gives us a different and newer point of view to old knowledge. Such a one is Miss Renata Remy, th e most recent acquisition of the English Department of the College. The scope of her knowledge is as extensive and detailed as the brilliant pre- sentation of the subject to which we are con- stant witnesses. Great though her enthusiasm is, she does not permit it to overrule nor throw out of balance the broadmindedness which enables her to see both sides of any question. Her entire outlook is seasoned by a satirical humor which delights her hearers. Fortunate indeed is New Rochelle to have added her to its Faculty. Miss Teresa Adelaide Carbonara A.B., Barnard, 1920; A.M., Columbia, 1921. Instructor in Latin We are particularly fortunate in acquiring so competent a Latin instructor as Miss Car- bonara to fill the void that was created when Mother Loyola was compelled, by the incr ease of her duties, to relinquish the instruction of Freshman Latin. The remarkable fund of knowledge that Miss Carbonara brings to the subject makes what would be considered a dry course, interesting. Her information is not only confined to facts immediately con- nected with the subject at hand but she throws an entrancing atmosphere about Latin by bringing into class discussion, interesting bits of knowledge that are enlightening. The help Miss Carbonara gives those whom she realizes are actually interested in her course is in- valuable, and all her work is broadened and brightened by a quaint, quixotic humor. Thirteen
