Hard to find Mr. Bell, Brother Alumnus now, spent a great deal of his time dur- ing our Quant course trying to tell us that it is rather difficult, and requires more experience than we have, to determine the weight, in three decimal places, of pre- cipitates on desk-top. Little does he know the intricate methods devised to neat his little record book— the one that told of the distribution of samples in the class. Or maybe he does know? Or doesn t he? With his work for advanced degrees, and activities in various organizations, it is small wonder that we find athletic Mr. Bell hard-to-find. For hours we thought. How are we going to insert that paragraph the Iinotyper ingnored, without upsetting the entire format? How can we tell of Mr. Liberman s insatiable scientific curiosity? His constant study and intensive research which has earned him the admiration and respect of all the students? We did not know, so we decided to leave the entire matter out. Dr. Arthur W. Thomas is titular head of the Department of Chemistry. His lectures are delivered in a highly active, almost nervous, manner. His main interest is in colloidal chemistry, and often have we been intrigued by his lectures in that subject, wherein he would advance the very latest in colloidal theories in such a manner that even chemistry beginners would leave the lecture feeling that he knew all about it. and there is no question but that he did. The chemistry department, gentlemen, is a good department. Croup Picture on Faculty Divider. Top: Standing: Mr. Baer. Mr. Bell: Sealed: Mr. Anzeimi. Prof. A. Tauh. Mr. Givens. Mr. Liberman

CHEMISTRY This department includes those subjects comprising a major course of studies through the four years. We also get unknowns, likewise a cause for study over four years. Professor Abraham Taub was selected the most ambitious Faculty member by the Senior Class. Well qualified to know. Professor Taub states that new graduates should not wait for pull to ge t you a job. Tackle anything within reason and make good at it until a better opportunity arises. He is one of our American Men of Science faculty members (also Drs. Ballard. Wimmer. Halsey. Carter. Hart), which see for complete listing of organizations. Reading. Theatre. Professional meetings, dinners and socials occupy Professor Taub s evenings, leaving two a week free to relax in, except when a GWTW is published, or during exam weeks. In the summer months, he visits with a good friend. Old Sol and probably tells such tales as to have his ears burned. Learn to keep your mouth shut and your ears open, and don ' t feel that you are above criticism, ' is advised by Mr. Liberman. because there is a lot that you still don t know. Reading and research occupy his spare time, sailing and hiking his vacation (?). Chief hobby is Philately, which is also the pastime for his departmental associate, Mr. Givens. Adviser for the earbook staff, Secretary of the New York Branch of the Amer- ican Pharmaceutical Association and member of the American Chemical Society and of Phi Delta Chi fraternity, besides several social organizations and professional activities, keep Mr. Givens rather much oc- cupied, so much so, in fact, that it ' s a matte. ' of either you see Mr. Givens, or you don t. Mr. Anzelmi offers when you play, play hard; when you work, don t play at all as essential advice, and, although this is no editorial, we are fully inclined to view- that quotation as a definitely necessary bit ol wis- dom to carry to the World. Phi Lambda Upsilon, Phi Delia Chi and the Dante Circle, are Mr. Anzelmi s fra- ternities, a consistently good score in bowling his main sport, and home with Mrs. Anzelmi and Teresa Marie (5 yrs.) his evening di- versio n. Hobby is photography, as it is that of Mr. Baer. also of this department. Mr. Baer is member of the Sigma Kappa Chi fraternity, and enjoys a very wholesome summer vacation— part spent studying, the

MATERIA MEDICA The Materia Medica curriculum consists of a greater variety of seemingly unre- lated courses than any other at the College. Physiology. Pharmacology. Posology. Toxicology, Zoology, Bacteriology and Pharmacognosy, are but part of the array. Undoubtedly the entire department envies Dr. Redden who is in charge of a mere two syllable course, First Aid. Dr. Ballard, departmental head, no doubt has full rights of parity with prominent Washingtonians, what with his associations mA.Ph.A.,N.Y.S.Ph.A..EX.N.Y.M.b.. T.B.S., and D.V., to mention but a few. In order to better handle all those activities. Dr. Ballard engages in the sport o f using up lead pencils writing things, etc. To graduates, best suggestion is Be on Time. Associate of Dr. Ballard, and chosen liveliest faculty member by the graduating class, is Professor Harry Taub. A regular at the Faculty-Senior bowling tourna- ments. Prof. Taub will also try his hand at the chess-board with any comer, besides being ready to lecture on his hobby of Photomicrography at almost any time. Besides that, how have you been Philately? But those are only hobbies. He also finds time to hold executive offices in several professional organizations, not to speak of membership in the other organizations too numerous to mention. Yes, Prof. Taub also does an excellent leaching job. getting stuck on the Queensboro Bridge only about twice a year. Professor Franchon Hart, sole woman on the faculty, does not lei the men sur- pass her in amount of work accomplished. Prof. Hart engages in the year round hobby of music, and the warmer month activities of gardening and tennis. In pro- fessional organization work, we find listed six activities and an etc.; but knowing Prof. Hart (remember the agar stain and Gram ' s medium?) we somehow suspect the itemized etc. would result in totals of more n twelve. Dr. Halsey. amazing students by drawing diagrams equally well from left or right side, probably is expert at his sport of tennis, using the new two hand grip (one to a racquet). He also engages in fencing, fishing and rowing, if you call thai sport. Teaching his daughter (who knows what the H before Randolph means), science is his chief hobby, and teaching that subject to sludents is his chief diver- sion, if you call that a diversion. But he swims and fishes summers at Soulhold. (Good trick, doc.) Attend meetings and meet people is advanced by Mr. PoUrny as being very important for young graduates. He is himself a participating member ol Iwo C ol- legiate fraternities, besides several professional organizations to which he belongs. Fishing is the sport which probably helped Mr. Pokorny with those qualities which
