History Sister Gertrude B.A., New Rochelle, 1915; M. A., Fordham, 1919. Instructor in History It is most regrettable that our acquaintance with Sister Gertrude has had to be so brief, for even after a year with her we can hardly claim her very intimate friendship. True, the greater part of us have come into contact with her, if not as regards that stum- bling-block, Education, then in the mazes of Colonial and Church History. It is, then, in the classroom that we have known her best, but the year has been a short one and this is not nearly enough. For us, it has been a year filled with the pleasantest associations; for her, we cannot answer with any certainty, but we can only hope that it has left kind thoughts of us and that we have helped in some small way to make Sister Gertrude ' s initial year as instructress at the College of New Rochelle happy as well as profitable. Personnel Henry C. Metcalf A.B., Harvard University; Sorbonne and the School of Economics and Political Science, Paris; Ph.D., University of Berlin; Head of Department of Economics, Tufts College, 1900-1917; Columbia University; Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology. Professor of Personnel Administration Dr. Metcalf, though a more or less recent acqui- sition to our Faculty, has already proven himself an invaluable asset to it. A man of unusual attainment in the economic world, he has suffused our own com- paratively meager knowledge with colorful rays from his personal and altogether interesting experience. A widely known authority in Personnel work, he has written, co-operatively, one of the greatest books in this branch of economic science. Only those of us who have actually studied with Dr. Metcalf can truly appreciate his innumerable good qualities. He has given himself to the noble work of bettering society, and this in itself is our highest and most sincere tribute to him. r { S ' ] T 1 F ' f ! t VJ W 1 u , eP m -4 BS Nineteen

History Parker T. Moon ANNALES B.S., Columbia, 1913, Ph D. Columbia, 1921; Expert at the Peace Conference, Paris; Author of “Catholic Social Move- ment in France”; Co-Author with Carlton J. H. Hayes of “Introduction to World Politics.” Professor of History “Is there a great deal of romance in history?” The present-day students of New Rochelle who have studied “World Politics” at the college will readily give their affirmation to this question. The “doubt- ing Thomases” have only to witness the Tuesday afternoon rush to “the Great War,” to believe Pro- fessor Moon. Possessing a rich vocabulary, a keen intellect, and a thorough knowledge of his subject, he brings before the mind ' s eye the world’s stage of historical events, and bids fair to carry the student into the affairs of tomorrow. On account of his sense of the poetic and his sympathetic imagination, as well as his charming personality, he will always be remembered by the students and Faculty. Dr. John J. Schuler A.B., German Wallace, 1891; Johns Hopkins, 1901-1904; Ph.D. Columbia, 1908. Professor of History Here is Bacon’s full man; ready man; exact man. Eminent qualities of heart and mind and a wealth of experience make him the ideal professor. He com- mands respect because of his great and varied learn- ing; inspires through his teaching, which not only illuminates his subject but creates the desire for knowledge, and convinces his students of his sym- pathy for them who are at the beginning of the long road of erudition down which he has gone so far. Dr. Schuler may be assured that those who have sat at his feet will remember him with gratitude and affection as a real teacher and a genuine man.

ANNALES 1 Business Edward J. Quinn B.C.S., New York University. Professor of Commercial Law and Accounting By virtue of his incomparable fund of ready-to- order stories and witticisms, Professor Quinn has, without the slightest effort on his part, gained a very special place in the hearts of the N. R. C. girls. His affable manner and constant quips about the fair sex have endeared him to every member of his classes, but, best of all, is the assurance that for work well done in his subjects there is the guarantee of a reasonably ample reward. Play fair with Professor Quinn and he does the same by you. If this popular professor has faults which have escaped our attention, they must be very likable ones, indeed, for — taking everything into consideration — he is just the nicest possible Prof. Quinn. Miss Elizabeth Doran B.S., New Rochelle, iqi8. Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting In the heart of each B. S. student as she leaves New Rochelle, one of the most poignant and deeply- imprinted memories of her Alma Mater is Miss Doran. Tenseness, speed, and endurance characterize her, so she is by nature and training a capable and qualified teacher of the difficult art of stenography. Moreover, she is so thorough-going, herself, that little short of perfection meets her requirements. The high grade of excellence of the B. S. students is proverbial, and we predict that New Rochelle will become noted for her court-stenographers and secretaries, the living product of Miss Doran ' s sincere desire to see her pupils excel.
