THE ROYAL PURPI. n The Faculty T he Faculty is the name applied to a particular organization of individuals which inflicts its presence upon most colleges and univer- sities. These individuals eat, sleep, and drink water like ordinary human beings. Many years of excessive toil in carrying around heavy burdens of titles and degrees has caused most of them to be- come stooped shouldered. In spite of this deformity, they are pleas- ant and inspiring to look upon. If they are not in their classrooms occasionally emitting intelligence in capsule form as mental delicacies for the students to feast upon, they can be found dissipating in the library, consuming volumes of literary sweets. Over-indulgence causes the minds of many profes- sors to become potbellied. Cornell professors however have been able to restrain themselves and have kept their mental symmetry. They are very fond of research work, especially at the end of every semester, when they unearth deep, vague, unheard-of questions for exams. They take particular delight in giving tests when the stud- -ents are the least prepared for them. - In other words, the faculty is the one concealed bump along the avenue of our college joy ride. Nevertheless, man is made by hard knocks, and such jolts as the faculty give us develop the characters that make successful alumni. ' C. P. B. owe
