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

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.

Instructor in Music Twenty-eight Nicola Montani To Nicola Montani must be awarded some of the laurels due to those artists who are untiring in their effort to effect a more general, widespread appre- ciation of the truly artistic in church music. He is endeavoring to make known the music lore of past ages, to acquaint all with the beautiful and colorful in this field. Mr. Montani came to New Rochelle only this year, yet he has established himself in stu- dent opinion as an extremely valuable and interesting instructor ; one whose classes are not only entertaining but also cultural and thoroughly enjoyable. Madame Alma Webster Powell Mus.B., Columbia University; LL.B., N. Y. University; Ph.D., Columbia University; Studied in St. Petersburg, Paris, London, Berlin, Milan and New York.

Her work at the college is a testimonial of her ability. Her pupils show re- markable progress and artistic development. Mad- ame Powell has a charming personality which com- mands respect as well as devotion.
