History Dr. John J. Schuler A.B., German, Wallace University, 1891; Johns Hopkins, 1901-04; Ph.D., Columbia University, 1908. Professor of History We have found Dr. Schuler a learned and inspiring professor, a noble and just man and a staunch friend. His store of knowledge is vast, and enkindles within us the desire to strive for higher things. History, under his guidance, is a thrilling subject. He weaves romance around the events of bygone days until they become real; he makes the characters of history seem living personages. Dr. Schuler possesses a tremendous power and mastery of expression which at times awes his audience. The force of his personality is compelling. His manner, although pleasant and genial, is commanding. Parker T. Moon B.S., Columbia University, 1913, Ph.D., Columbia. 1921; Expert at the Peace Conference, Paris; Author of “Catholic Social Movement in France”; Co-Author with Carlton J. H. Hayes of “Introduction to World Politics.” Professor of History The great game of history-making is laid before us in a manner never to be forgotten. With Dr. Moon as a guide — an ever-fair and just guide — -we are brought to see and become enchanted by the finer points of this most intrigu- ing game. He holds his audience with the finesses of the nations and the strategic plays of the Statesmen of the world. What was to us, formerly, merely a titanic event — the Great War— we view now in a new light, for Dr. Moon has unrolled the game to us from its incipient causes to the final decisive play. His mode of lecturing is most distinctive. Perhaps the uniqueness arises from the fact that Dr. Moon feels the romance of history, and therefore presents it as a fascinat- ing tale. His brilliant intellect, as perceived through the clarity and lucidity of his expression, serves to enhance his story and charm his listeners. Eighteen

Associate Dean and Professor of Latin Mother Loyola, as Associate Dean, lives with the pun pose of leading us to cultured womanhood. She performs her cycle of duties indefatigably. With unerring judgment she appraises the potentialities of each individual Fresh ' man who passes under her able scrutiny, then, with an accuracy that often seems inspiration, she strives for four years to help each girl to realise that ideal of culture. By her own ardent enthusiasm. Mother Loyola has made Latin a vital subject to those who have chosen it for advanced study, for she believes that a sincere love of Latin is one of the portals to intellectual aristocracy. r ■ p Ire 1 ft If 1 ft Sister Regis A.B., New Rochelle, 1919. Instructor in Latin We have known Sister Regis only one short year, but in that limited time we have learned to love and appreciate her. Kindly sympathetic, with an understanding that reaches every one in her classes, she has tried to simplify the hardships of Freshman Latin. Patient with errors, always ready to assist and encourage, she has taken away much of the dread ordinarily connected with this difficult study. Always fair and reasonable in her dealings with students. Sister Regis has yet a gentle firmness that brooks no idling or laxity in the classroom where she presides. In leaving New Rochelle, we regret that we have not had a longer acquaintance with her, and we envy those who are fortunate enough to remain to ' know her better. , m : ; ( 11 E 1 lv n rS rh rNH rhrhriv hrh rbrf ' irh fiS rh rK rh Ai rh rh rtv ' b rt ?F- , Seventeen rt m n t ft n rArT ' « r fi

v i. vyqj’C 1 4 t| j ' i .J Lp History Sister Gertrude A.B., New Rochelle, 1916; A.M., Fordham University, 1920. Instructor in History Sister Gertrude is a true exemplar of unselfishness and devotion to duty. Sister’s interest is primarily in her classes and, secondarily, in the individual girls. To her classes, Sister Gertrude gives the benefit of hours of prep- aration. Invariably we meet her in the corridors or in the library burdened with many reference books. After cull- ing the good, Sister Gertrude generously gives us the fruits of her labor in concentrated form. For this, the Freshmen in the psychology quiz; and the Juniors in history of education bless Sister Gertrude’s magpanimity. There is also an artistic side to Sister Gertrude’s com- posite character. Her skill and proficiency make her a valuable asset to the drawing class. Mother Emmanuel A.B., New Rochelle, 1912, M.A., New Rochelle. 19x4; Ph.D., Ford- ham University. 1922. Professor of History By virtue of deep learning, and a charming individuality, Mother Emmanuel enlists our genuine interest in her subject- — history. During a lecture we are in imagination at the Court of Charlemagne. Charlemagne is no longer a visionary personage; he lives — a noble king. The dry-as- dust historian has no place in the study of mediaeval and modern history under the guidance of Mother Emmanuel. ' With the principal actors in this realistic drama we associate tales of their prowess, their idiosyncrasies, re- lated from Mother Emmanuel’s inexhaustible store of historical knowledge. For these hours of pleasure in the pursuit of learning, history students, one and all, thank their inspiring, enthusiastic teacher. S -K • ' -r ' PFChF rf rh i Nineteen
