v yyUJU gyLVV- U Mathematics Frank O’Callaghan B.Sc., Victoria University; M.S ' c., Victoria University. Professor of Mathematics Mr. O’Callaghan typifies the ideal Irish gentleman, courteous, cultivated, learned and with a keen sense of humor. In his native Ireland, he was very prominent in scholastic and political circles. Mathematics is never a bore; never uninteresting to those in his class. He is the possessor of such unfailing good humor, that we never mind asking him to explain a problem that is not quite clear. His whole life has been devoted to scientific study. It is his thorough knowledge of the subject, or rather a conv bination of this with the gift of imparting knowledge to others, that has won for him the interest and cooperation of the math students. ' ! ; 4 J Mother Cephas A.B., New Rochelle, 1908; A.M., Columbia University, 1909. Professor of Mathematics Mother Cephas, our skilled, patient and able instruc- tress in mathematics, holds a place very near the heart of each New Rochelle girl. In her is found the deep sym- pathy and true understanding that so readily endears her to any girl coming under her care; here she is truly Mother. In all instances she is unprejudiced and fair. Never can she be accused of showing favoritism, even during those trying and terrible pre-meet days. It is during such times of upheaval that her diplomacy and sense of fair play are taxed to the utmost. For these reasons she is deeply re- spected as our Moderator of Athletics. Her keen humor, her deep religious fervor, her per- sonality, and her splendid example all combine to make her an ideal Alumna of New Rochelle. Twenty ' three

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

Business Edward J. Quinn B.C.S., New York University. Professor of Commercial Law and Accounting It is Professor Quinn’s particular smile and the gleam of good fellowship which sparkles from his genial eyes that have won for him the friendship of every girl who has met him at New Rochelle. He has just the proper balance between fact and fun and his humor is natural and limit- less. More than this, Professor Quinn never seems to forget anyone he has ever taught and, regardless of time or place, he has always a smile and nod for a familiar face. Professor Quinn is interesting, witty, lenient, and yet conscious of his primary duty to teach and inspire. Dorothy M. Weldon Yale Normal School, 1921; Columbia University, 1924; College of the City of New York, 1924. Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting This year, N. R. C. welcomes a new instructor in secretarial subjects- — Miss Weldon. Ask any B. S. student and she will tell you the place of high esteem which she has won in our hearts. Typewriting and stenography have lost much of their terror since the advent of our new professor. We have found her thoroughly capable, an efficient teacher, glad to assist us in all our difficulties. We have had to work, and work hard, in her courses. It is not so easy to make a perfect copy in typewriting or to “read back” one’s notes as it may seem to one unacquainted with the art. However, Miss Weldon’s personality, her sym- pathy, the feeling which we have that she is “one of us” has made it easier for us to reach the high standard which she requires. We appreciate Miss Weldon’s efforts and co-operation with us. We are proud and glad to number her among our Faculty and we hope that she will remain with us. Twenty ' four
