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

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.

Pedagogy Joseph M. Kaine New Paltz Normal School, 1906; A.B., New York University, 1910, A.M., New York University, 1912. Professor of Educational Psychology Professor Kaine is one of those fortunate few who, possessing a perfect understanding of human nature and gifted with a magnetic personality, can hold the attention and interest of a class without seeming effort. His smoothly -polished and well-balanced sentences convey his ideas clearly to the students, and carry with them conviction. He is an idealist, yet a man with a keen intellect which pierces through the veil of abstractions, removes the essence of the thing and presents it, bare and sharply-defined, to the students. Besides the above qualities, Professor Kaine owns many others which contribute to his success as a teacher and which account for the deep liking and respect in which he is held by his classes. Twenty-two ANNALES John G. Condon A.B., College of the City of New York, 1892; Pd.M., New York University, 1902, Pd.D., New York University, 1904. Professor of Education Brilliant, highly progressive, and intensely alive, Professor Condon endeavors to inculcate in us the principles of successful teaching. Professor Condon s specialty, General Methods, is a two-hour period, and it comes late in the afternoon, from which one would naturally infer that it would be rather tire- some, but, on the contrary, the time flies unnoticed in the general atmosphere of vivid alertness and attention with which the professor manages to sur- round his students. Nothing escapes the observance of his vigilant gaze (indeed, at times, he seems almost omniscient), but while his wit is keen and amusing, it is never cutting. We may consider ourselves most fortunate to have the benefit of association with such a man, who is considered to be one of the best repre- sentatives of the teaching profession.
