Hygienic Administration Carol T. Stevens M.D., Columbia. College Physician Dr. Stevens will never grow old, for he is young at heart. His optimism seems to awaken a kindred hope in us. We freely bring our mental troubles as well as our physical ills to Dr. Stevens, and his generous assistance is always forthcoming. His kindly, sparkling blue eyes and his ever-ready smile spell comfort and reassurance. The simplicity of his personality defies analysis, and this very lack of affectation and pretension wins all who are fortunate enough to know him. By his loving service, Dr. Stevens has become a favorite with the Faculty as well as with the students of the college. Miss Keane Ursuline College, Waterford, Ireland; Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. In the new mistress of our Infirmary we find a lady hard to “write up” and at the same time not the least bit hard to know. It is by virtue of her “quality of mercy” that we first came to know this pleasant- voiced lady with the soothing touch, and it is by her quality of friendliness that we came to know her more intimately. Through the magnetic power of her nature, both Faculty and Student Body have come to regard Miss Keane with the highest regard — at all times and under the most trying circumstances.

ANNALES Mathematics Mother Cephas A.B., New Rochelle, 1908; A.M., Columbia, Professor of Mathematics A keenness of mathematical precision, firmness and a sense of justice in all transactions, a royal good sportsmanship in athletic discussions as well as a supreme desire to see right and justice prevail, make Mother Cephas the admirable instructor, moderator, and athletic arbiter of New Rochelle. To develop the potentialities of her students, in Math, sports or in whatsoever field claims their interest, is her un- tiring ambition. To her has been given that in- explicable something that wins the confidence and secures the whole-hearted co-operation and support of the girls. Mother Cephas’ increasing friendships in every outgoing class speak sufficiently of the ap- preciation and popularity of one of New Rochelle’s finest personalities. Physical Education Miss Edna Meyer Savage School of Physical Education 1918; New York Uni- versity, 1918, 1919, 1920. Instructor in Physical Training If you seek a teacher who is good to look upon and who is in perfect harmony with her classes, you have reached your goal — in Miss Meyer. She has a remarkable talent for discipline, combined with a calm, even disposition that is inclined to overlook trifles and to stress worth-while things. It is a genuine pleasure just to observe Miss Meyer, an education to watch her, and a piece of the greatest good fortune to be in the circle of her favored friends. She has the added distinction of being not only very near to “the girls’’ but also of being very dear to them. In short, Miss Meyer is a highly individual person, endowed with traits which make her a most popular and appreciated member of our Faculty and, to speak in metaphor, a rare gem of womanhood, copies of which serve only to make the original dearer.

B.A., M.A. Administration Mother Ignatius Dean Perhaps the diplomats who are unable to come to an agreement on the settlement of the Ruhr question might learn a lesson in diplomacy from Mother Ignatius. Endowed with unfailing discretion in the control of the college, inherent justice, and a re- markable sense of humor, the Dean has won the hearts of her students. Her good judgment and untiring energy are greatly to be admired and praised as well as her unusual facility for uniting the college factions. These few words are the keynote to her individuality:— “Gently to hear; kindly to judge.” Sister Philomena College Librarian When you are in search of a volume to help in some outside work, call on Sister Philomena. She will smilingly come to your aid and produce the desired book. Sister Philomena has done much for the students. Through her, the library, the key to knowledge, has been made accessible to all. She seems to know just what readings are assigned for each course and to have them right on hand for the tardy worker. To Sister Philomena we offer our sincere appreciation of the untiring service that she renders to us. Twenty-seven VUr
