Mathematics Arthur Burton Hussey A.B., Bates, 1914; A.M., Brown, 1915. Professor of Mathematics Deeply intellectual, pre-eminently scientific, at all times particular and exacting, Professor Hussey makes an unusually efficient teacher of higher mathematics. Those who come under his direction (and they are a very small and select group of the mathematically inclined) are convinced that he is an exceedingly earnest and serious man, zealously devoted to the business of mathe- matics. His ability to instill into feminine minds the perplexing principles of Analytics and Calculus is due to his thorough knowledge of the sub- ject and his scientific method of presentation. His exacting insistence on particulars makes for his efficiency. His impersonal attitude towards his classes and his impartial justice towards all, indicate that he has the true spirit James I. Conway A.B., Loyola, Baltimore, 1905; LL.B., Fordham, 1909. Professor of Mathematics Professor Conway has that type of mind with which we associate the mathematical. Capable of prolonged analysis, a logician if there ever was one, Professor Conway uses his gifts of keenness of perception and logical presentation as an aid to his pupils. Sincerity, an anxiety for a complete understanding of the matter at hand, characterizes his every move; courtesy mellows his every action. True to a type, but having a complete individualism that captivates us, he will always remain in our memories — the ideal mathematics pro- Twenty-two

Pedagogy John G. Condon A.B., College of the City of New York, 1882; Pd. M., New York University, 1902; Pd.D., 1904. Professor of Education “On his visage middle age Had slightly pressed its signet sage, Yet had not quenched the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth. Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare”. In a word this is Professor Condon. As a teacher he has impressed us with the power of his profession. As man and teacher, he possesses those sterling qualities of character that make for his success and ours. All his interests point to a broader development of whatever is noblest in life. Into all that attracts him he throws himself with zest and energy. “Yea,, he is a man with wisdom fraught, not such as books, but such as practice taught”. Joseph M. Kaine New Paltz Normal, 1906; [A.B., New York University 1910; A.M., New York University, 1912. Professor of Psychology As a teacher of that delicate crystal subject — psychology — Mr. Kaine is not only capable but possesses that unique quality of vision which the true idealist must have. Not only is he the true teacher in all the phases of the meaning of the word, but Mr. Kaine has the rare gift of imparting numerous definite ideas and new facts to others in a relatively short space of time. Personally, Professor Kaine is attractive for a polite, sincere manner, a highly burnished sense of values and an orderly, well- regulated mind, guided into the broadest channels of thought and intellectual develop- ment. Although Professor Kaine is com- paratively a recent acquisition of New Ro- chelle’s, we trust the acquaintanceship will remain for a very long time. Twenty-one

AM Hygienic Administration Carol T. Stevens, M.D. College Physician In appearance, Doctor Stevens is fatherly; as a physician, technically sound and skilled; so it is little wonder that we consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have him as our college physician. His interest in “his” girls’ welfare is as genuine as it is unconcealed and covers far more than their physical needs, for Doctor Stevens is a healer not only of bodily ills but of those often far more poignant mental ones. It is impossible for us to imagine any crisis either physical or mental, too great for him to cope with. When one is sick his visits are anticipated, for he has that power of sympathy which when intelligently used, is as great a factor in heal- ing our ills as medicine. In short, he is just the kind of a man one proudly refers to as “our family physician”. Mabel S. van Zelm The word “Infirmary” does not strike the terror in our hearts that one might think it would. We are told there is a “Law of Com- pensation”, and here we find it to hold true. It is never particularly pleasant to be sick and confined to bed, but when the bed is in the Infirmary the compensation is the kind and sympathetic care of Miss Zelm. When we are sick, Miss Zelm is the one person who counts. The greatest tribute of the Student Body to Miss Zelm is a tribute to her un- selfishness. Nothing is too much for her to do for her patients and nothing great enough for her patients to say of her, who has “A heart as true, a heart as kind As in the whole world you will find”. Twenty-three
