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.

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

ANNALES Science William J. McAuliffe A.B., St. Francis Xavier, 1905; Columbia, 191 3-1914. Professor of Science The cause of Science at New Rochelle finds an extremely lively exponent in Professor McAuliffe. His cheerful witticisms and good-natured gallantry shorten many a tedious late-afternoon period. Pos- sessing a personal interest in all of his students, the Professor is always on the alert to share his know- ledge and the benefit of his wide experience with them. A versatile man and an extremely capable teacher, he is able to secure and hold the attention of his classes. Considering his many merits, it is not surprising that Professor McAuliffe possesses a host of friends at New Rochelle. Rocco Fanelli B.S., Columbia, 1918, M. A., Columbia, 1919, Ph.D., Columbia, 1923. Professor of Science Science, that intricate maze which leads us from the beaten paths of knowledge into its byways! However, with Dr. Fanelli as guide and director, hidden paths become as open roads. His classes are characterized by an atmosphere of exactness and briskness. We neither dare nor care to be superficial. There is no abhorrence of the subject in our hearts, for in our minds there is understanding. Dr. Fanelli possesses youth and enthusiasm; his brilliance gleams forth and seems to kindle a kindred fire in us. We are glad to welcome Dr. Fanelli to New Rochelle, and we hope that he will remain with us for a long time to come. Twenty-one HJj
