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

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

Metcalf A.B., Harvard University; Sorbonne and the School of Economics and Political Science, Paris; Ph.D., University of Berlin; Head of Depart ' ment of Economics, Tufts College, igo7 ' i7; Chairman, Committee on The Organic Development of Business, National Association of Cor- poration Schools, 1915-16; Director, War Emergency Training Courses in Employment Management, Columbia University; Carnegie Institute of Technology, Bureau of Municipal Research, 1918-19; Staff, Bureau of Industrial Research, 1919-20; Co-Author with Ordway Tead, “Per- sonnel Administration; Its Principles and Practice.” Professor of Personnel Administration Earnestness in any field of work cannot fail to impress and influence others, and so Dr. Metcalf, ardent in his noble work of bettering society, has taken a place in our hearts and in our esteem that is prominent and permanent. We feel deeply honored in having as our instructor a man of such brilliance in the economic world, and it is with pride that we speak of knowing one who besides being a foremost figure in personnel work has taken part in the writing of a valuable work in that branch of economic science. Sociology Mother Xavier A.B., New Rochelle, 1909; Columbia University, 1910-11, 1913-14; A.M., Columbia University, 1914. Professor of Economics and Sociology Despite the tremendous responsibility imposed by her position of Registrar and professor, Mother Xavier is always willing to discuss our work with us and to advise. Impartially she gives to each the benefit of her experience and knowledge with a whole-hearted generosity that has won our admiration for her sterling character and her splendid intellect. But it is her charming personality that has made her beloved by all. We shall ever carry with us a pleasant memory of her gracious manner and her inimi- table smile. 1 ■ ■ l jj- 1 8 v I I IK I M 1 1 ! K : he 1 lif I ft :: |N JLp . fLC I !] !
