ienic Administration Carol T. Stevens, M. D. College Physician Dr. Stevens is the embodiment of the ideal family physician, and that is the part he plays in our life here at school. He is the family doctor for all of us. When he comes to make his visits, he creates anatmosphereradiating with cheerfulness. His fatherly manner wins our con ' fidence and friendship. He makes us feel that he has taken a real interest in us. It is not only Dr. Steven’s personality that has made him universally popular with the students, it is his ability as a physician and the very good care he takes of us when we are ill. No illness is too slight for him to bother with or too great for him to cope with. He is always efficient and capable and meets every situation as only one who has had years of experience and a thorough knowledge of his profession could. Miss Honora Collins R.N., Brooklyn Hospital, New York. College Nurse Miss Collins has not been with us long, but she has won for herself a high place in our esteem. She has the respect and admiration of every girl in the college, and a special place in the hearts of those of us to whose ills she has ministered. Her resourcefulness and good judgment make her mistress of every situation. Her patience and kindliness win the confidence of all with whom she has to deal, and her sympathy and understanding win their love. We welcome Miss Collins to New Rochelle most heartily and hope that she will remain here so that all succeeding classes may have the privilege of knowing and admiring her. ’Twenty ' seven

AiAl MAJAV Pedagogy Joseph M. Kaine New Paltz Normal School, 1906; A.B., New York University, 19x0, A.M., New York University, 1912. Professor of Educational Psychology Professor Kaine is master of that fascinating, all-absorb- ing subject, psychology, and when we say “master” we mean it in the very fullest sense of the term. Psychology is such a recent subject and its field is so very broad and specula- tive that it has become the plaything of unscrupulous people who see in it a splendid chance to appear learned without knowledge. In many of our colleges the Professor of Psychology is the proud holder of a sinecure, the keeper of an aviary, his task being to let his charges take wing in any direction, unhampered, while he simply watches their flight. Professor Kaine does not regard things so lightly. He has cut down his subject so that it comprises only those principles which are applicable to the schoolroom. His co urse is a delicate blend of the practical and the ideal, just as he, himself, is a delicate blend of the two. We might think that it is this that makes him so well liked by his pupils if we did not know that his popularity is due to his delightfully refreshing personality and his genial good humor, which, he says, himself, “no good teacher can be without.” Library Sister Philomena College Librarian In the quiet of the library among the books which are her treasures we find Sister Philomena. We do not really know Sister Philomena until she smiles. There is a wealth of understanding, of sympathy and affection in that smile. If our acquaintance with her extends only to the library, we know simply that she is ever patient and ready to help us. However, if we have been fortunate enough to have known her in Hall 2,3 we can truly appreciate her. We realize her thoughtfulness, her kindness, and her sincerity. She stands out in our minds as one of the finest characters we have ever known. i-hmrhrh rn Twenty ' six

u U JKUUJUJ UJ ' Administration Mother Ignatius B.A., M.A. With the interest of all of her girls at heart, and that of the college so dear to her. Mother Ignatius is a sympa- thetic judge and a progressive administrator. Her fine understanding and great experience grasp at once the problems as they arise and their immediate solutions. She is adamantine without, with unruffled composure, serenity of countenance, flawless culture, but within she is impul- sively warm-hearted and generous. Mother Ignatius, from her lofty height sees, hears, de- termines — then understanding enters and, tempering the wind to the shorn lamb, she smiles, reconsiders, and adjusts. Under her wise guidance and control the college grows apace in prestige and perfection. Mother Loyola A.B., New Rochelle, 1908. Associate Dean Nineteen Twenty-five is Mother Loyola’s Jubilee Year, and therefore we of the Class of 1925 feel that we belong in a special way to her. In her position as Associate Dean, Mother Loyola has an opportunity to come into intimate contact with the problems peculiar to student life. Her tact, her sympathy, and her understanding in dealing with individual difficulties which must inevitably arise, have made her respected and admired by us all, and a gentle and appealing nature has won for her the love of the entire Student Body.
