Language Miss Mary Edla Tibbits A.B., Barnard, 1907. Professor of English As a teacher, Miss Tibbits’ prime interest is in facts as a basis for intellectual development. Her motto is “be definite and explicit.” We have con- cluded that complete and extensive courses do not comprise facts alone. Diversified knowledge, broad- minded opinions and frequent witticisms characterize her lectures. We regard most highly her impartiality and receive with pride her appreciation of good work. Miss Tibbits, herself, is an example of all that she expects from her pupils. We could not find a more capable adviser and authority on all subjects. The Student Body extends to her its appreciation of her many and constant endeavors for the advancement of the College of New Rochelle. John M. Loughran A.B., New York University, 1907, A.M., New York University, 1908, Graduate Student, New York University, 1909-1915. Associate Professor of English All Truth is of God. It is now a rugged boulder, now a diamond exquisitely cut. At college we behold many views of it, exposed by this professor and that. To Professor Loughran, “Truth is beauty; beauty, truth.” His favorite expression of it is poesy; hence he speaks in numbers, for the numbers come. To him, your poet is your true prophet, and so, with enthusiasm, he leads us into the fields of song, kindles our imagination, beats out the rhythm, and reveals the local habitations and names of those airy noth- ings, which, but now, were uncreate except in the alembic of the poet’s mind.

Philosophy Reverend Joseph E. Brady Fordham, 1905-1907; Dunwoodie, 1907-1912, A. B., Dun- woodie 1909; Catholic University, 1912-1914, S. T. B., Cath- olic University, 1913, J. C. B., Catholic University, 1914. Professor of Philosophy “Come to me all you that labor and are heavily burdened and I will refresh you. Father Brady is at once our adviser and our friend. His unflinching justice and unbiased judgment forbid us to deviate in the least from the path of duty and honor. His conscientious attention to study gives us a living example of the perfection of mind we aspire to. With him, comfort and refreshment await all who would unburden themselves of sorrow and cares, be they great or small. To Father Brady we freely tender our deepest reverence, our sincerest respect, and our constant love and admiration. James J. Walsh K.C., St. G., M.D., Ph.D., Sc.D., Litt.D., Fellow A.M.A., A A A.S.; Author of “Makers of Modern Medicine,’’ “Old Time Makers of Medicine,’’ “The History of Medicine in New York State,’’ “The Thirteenth, the Greatest of Centuries, “The Popes and Science.’’ Professor of Physiological Psychology A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or touch not the Pierian Spring!” What greater or better example of the value of this proverb have we than Dr. Walsh? A man of unusual wisdom in many and varied fields, he indeed inspires us and offers a tempting incentive for the higher, nobler things of life. How often have we wondered — yea, marveled, — at the magnitude of his learning, only the more to realize how honored we are to find ourselves even a tiny interest in his life! Dr. Walsh has studied medi- cine, and in this, as in all else he has undertaken, he has met with great success. Literature, too, has called him, and as the author of many works, both scientific and historical, he has attained great renown. Author, lecturer, philosopher, his presence on our Faculty has indeed given New Rochelle a singular prestige. Ten

ANNALES Language Twelve Miss Renata Marie Remy A.B., Hunter College. Associate Professor of English, Miss Remy has been gifted with that wonderful quality — enthusiasm. As she descends from her place on the platform to become one of us, something of her energy seems to be communicated to the class. A lively discussion is almost sure to follow, and we know that this discussion will not be abandoned until complete understanding prevails. Perhaps it is this unusual combination of thoroughness and vividness that makes Miss Remy such a distinctly different person. In Miss Remy’s class we receive an immediate gain in our store of knowledge. Moreover, she points the way so that we may continue to improve when we are no longer guided by her. Sister Aquinas A.B., New Rochelle, iqi3, New Rochelle, jqi8-iq; Columbia, i q 20; A. M., New Rochelle, iq2 1 ; Fordham, Associate Professor of English What is nobility in woman? And what are its numerous and everlasting sources? Who will write the volume to answer these questions — well, who needs to, that has known Sister Aquinas? She is the volume herself, whose every page is a glory. Full of the deepest sympathy and understanding, she is ex- amplar, mother, sister, friend and pal, a helping guide through all the intricacies of college life. She possesses a deep appreciation of all that is truly great and good, and seeks to show us that good and prepare us to face the world with a ready mind. Because of her quick and surprising wit, her class periods are always a joy, and her influence will ever be felt as if a strong chain had become a gentle radiance, but still to bind. M
