William J. McAuliffe A.B., St. Francis Xavier College, 1905:; Columbia University, 1915-14, Professor of Science The study of science is not particularly appealing to those of us who are not scientifically inclined. However, when science is discussed by Professor McAuliffe we come to a realisation of its true worth and value. We perceive that it is not simply a dry, “required course” but a vital and interesting subject containing fundamental truths and essential knowledge. Professor McAuliff e presents his subject-matter in a most effective, forceful manner. Perhaps that is the reason we are so attentive at his lectures. Yet we are sure that his occasional apropos remarks, his favorite little stories, interspersed every now and then in the course of his lecture, have a great deal to do with increasing our interest. Almost every girl in college has had at least one course with Professor Me- Auliffe, and it is a well-known fact that he is a universal favorite among the students. Rocco Fanelli B.S.. Columbia University, 1918; M.A., Columbia University, 1919; Ph.D., Columbia University, 1923. Professor of Science Professor Fanelli has done the remarkable for N. R. C. Science has always been to us “that awful something buried in huge folios,” but that is no longer the case. We do not mean by that we flock to our chemistry class wreathed in smiles or that we would “walk a mile for it,” but chemistry in the hands of Professor Fanelli with its in- triguing experiments has been made delightfully interest- ing. For, although the professor’s knowledge is un- bounded, he has the unusual faculty of being able to see the principle involved and the smallest detail at the same time. With all his brilliance, he is able to let himself down to the lowliest mind in the class — never in a spirit of hurried displeasure, but always in a kindly, willing way. When we have left New Rochelle, we will look back and wonder at our own temerity in plying Professor Fanelli with so many and such juvenile questions, but if we remember that a truly great mind never aims to awe, we will understand.

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 !] !

Arthur durton Hussey A.B., Bates College, 1914; A.M., Brown University, 19x5: Professor of Science Those of us who have completed Mr. Hussey’s course are fortunate, indeed, for we have had the privilege of association with a brilliant man. Mr. Hussey’s keen and piercing intellect and his earnest, scholarly nature must, of necessity, have a profound effect upon the student. Mr. Hussey possesses the gift of successfully combining abstract knowledge with the concrete facts of life. He brings into the laboratory and classroom a vitalizing human interest. His course is of definite value to the students who can apply directly to life the scientific principles as presented by him. Among its other qualities, Mr. Hussey’s teaching has the additional virtue of provide ing excellent mental discipline. Physical Education Miss Edna Meyer Savage School of Physical Education, 1918; New York University, 19x8-19, 20 . Instructor in Physical Training It is an admitted fact by the foremost educators of the country that in a college curriculum the development of the physical is of the utmost importance. We are fortunate in having Miss Meyer as our leader in this line.. As a teacher, she has reached heights of extraordinary excel- lence, yet not as a teacher do we consider her, but rather as an ideal embodied in her work. To us, she means fairness, quick judgment, clear thought and true sportsmanship, and gifted with the power of inspiring these qualities in others. Combined with this she is infinitely human, with the most lovable traits of character and a sense of humor that makes her in addition to our teacher — a friend and pal. rt rhrhrk rhrS rK rirhrb rKrbPTrbu S rrirh h rbrh T ri rhrh rKAvTi rb rh rh rhrhrh rhrh rh rf Ai T
