rXl-LEN Davin HtJI.E, Professor of Geology and Secretary of the Faculty. B. S., Earlham College. 1897: Teacher in Secondary Schools, 1897-19003 Graduate Student Uni- versity of Chicago, 1901 and 1905g A. M., Earlham College. 19013 Earlham College, from 1900. The neatest Prof. in school-that's what the vote said, and so thoroughly conscientious that he really spends some time preparing his chapel talks. Cranky, he is called at times. for he would live up to the letter of the law though Rome fell and all the Seniors, too. Not even Prexie's jokes are able to disturb the calm composure of his countenance.-Yet those who know the l112ll'l'S square deal- ing in the class-room and a certain merry twinkle in his eye, say that the rest of us don't know him at all. CLEvEL.xND TQING C11.xsE, Professor of Latin Language and Literature. A. B.. Gberlin College, 18913 A. M., ibid, 18961 lflonorary Fellow in Latin, University of Chicago. 1893-943 Graduate Scholar, illid, 1894-95: Fellow, ilfid, 1895-96: lnstructor in Latin, Oberlin College, 1896-993 Student at the University of Gottingen, 1899-1900: Student at the American School of Classical Studies,in Rome, 1900-013 Assistant Professor of Latin, The State University of Iowa, 1901-02: Earlham College, from 1902. To the uninitiated he looks like a very ordinary mortal. with a cajoling voice which he does not object to use and a pair of slightly bowed legs. Hut when you come to know him better yoii iind he has well developed aesthetic tendencies twe have his word for itl. and a working knowledge of Latin. He does know Latin. He got the vote forthe Biggest Knocker, but this must be a libel. as the people in his classes all swear by him. EI.l!l2RT RLTSSE1.l., Professor of lliblical Literature and Interpretation,and College Pastor. A. B., Earlham College, 1894: A. N., Earlham College, 18953 Professor liihlieal lnstruction. Earlham College 1895-1901' Graduate Student University of Chicago, 1901-02: Fellow in New b . . , U Testament, zbzd, 1902-031 laarlham College, from 1903. During his undergraduate days Prof. Russell played quarterback on the college varsity and won much renown in tennis. Possibly it is the memory of these recent student days that keeps him so closelv in touch with student life. The old athletic training may still be traced in his chapel sermons. ' . . - K for every effort is good and each a little better than the preceding. 25

Enxvtx PRITCILXRIJ Tnctiiztoon, Professor of Elocution and Oratory and Director of Gymnasium- B. S., Earlham College, 1885: B. L., University of Michigan, 1887: A.M.. Earlham College, 1890: Professor of Elocution, Earlham College, from 1888. Prof. Ed., or E. P., so called to distinguish him from VVm. N., has about the longest title in the bunch. 1-le doesn't give practical demonstrations of his powers in any of the lines mentioned, but during his twenty years' sojourn here the fellows have been able to do some very effective Work under him. Perhaps this is because no detail is too small for him to give it his earnest attention, or because he takes so seriously courses which are so often used as fillers VVe owe Reid held and the gymnasium largely to E, P. Roizicivr Liinuiii, S,xcki2'i'r, Professor of Applied Mathematics and Astronomy. B, S, KC, BJ, University of ltlichigan, 1891: War Department,River and Harbor Surveys,1891: Degree of Civil Engineer, University of Michigan, 1896: Professor of Applied Mathematics, liarlham College, from 18913 Special appointment in Geological Survey for 1904, on Stream Pollution. Verily a man much to be feared, because of his size. his bald head, his manner-and above all, his ability to lire a volume of questions that would make even a Soph. withdraw within himself and shut up like a clam, XVhen he makes a statement, it's decisive, and even if you don't agree with him yon'd best take it doxvn and look it up later only to lind that his store of knowledge is vast and un- ending. X'x'il.l.I,xm Di2NNis Coi.i.iNs, Professor of Physics and Chemistry. A. B., llarvard University, 1895: A. bl., lrlarvard University, 1897: Assistant in Physics, Har- vard University, 1895-97: lnstructor in Physics, Radcliffe College, 1896-973 Professor of Physics liarlham College, from 1897. Daddy, they affectionately nicknamed him on his arrival and Daddy it has been ever since. Perhaps because of his ability to addle Iirst-year Chemistry people, or it may be his manly st1'ide.- lfvery young, aspiring artist in school has at some time or other attempted to put that prolile on paper or to catch his poise in his cross-country runs with his prison stripe. But alas, that sunny grin has escaped every pen, it even runs away from him while he is reading the Bible in chapel. 2-l

iXRTI'IUR M. CH.xRL13s, Professor of German and French. B. S., Earlham College, 1894: A. M., Haverford College, 1896, Teacher of English and German, and Principal Secondary Schools, 1896-1902: Student University of Jena, Summer Term, 18985 Student at Universities of Munich and Berlin, 1902-045 University of Besancon, Summer Term, 19033 Earlham College, from 1904. The hrst thing der Herr Professor did on his arrival last ear was to make himself famous by announcing that his method of grading would be much more severe than any hitherto employed in that department. The next was the demonstration of the truth of that statement. But the greatest thing this tall, handsome Prof. ever did was to convert himself into a long, lanky baseball player. EDWIN DII-I.I2R S'r.xRBUCK, Professor of Education. A. B., Indiana University, 18901 M. A., Harvard University, 1895: Ph. D., Clark University, 18973 Professor of Mathematics, Vincennes University, 1891-933 Assistant Professor of Educa- tion, Stanford University, 1897-1904: Scholar in Harvard University, 1893-953 Fellow in Psy- chology and Education, Clark University, 1895-973 Student in University of Zurich, 1903-04: Lec- turer in Pacific Theological Seminary, 1902-031 in VVestern Reserve, Summer Session, 1903: in NVoodbrooke Summer School, England, 1903. and in the Summer School of the South, 1904. Professor of Education, Earlhani College, since 1904. lle has the football hair and the philosopher's lack of memory-no wonder he can write books and be taken into Psychological Societies and get his picture in the papers. He has only been with us a short time, but he has done some astounding things-pitched on the star faculty baseball team, debated in that famous faculty debate, treated his pet class at the Greeks and- painled his con' green on the inside. ll.xm.oxv Lrxnuiv, Assistant Professor of History, and Librarian. ll. l.,, Earlham College, 1898: A. M., Earlham College, 18993 Graduate Student University of XVisconsin, 18993 Graduate Student, The University of Chicago, six quarters: Librarian Earl- liam College, from 18981 lnstructor in History, Earlham College, 1899-1901: Assistant Profes- sor of History, since 19013 Fellow in lrlistory, The University of Chicago, 1902-03. Prof. llarloxv seems to be working towards two great ideals in life. The first is the success of the college library and the second consists in proving that a course in History is not necessarily a cinch, l'le is succeeding xvell, especially in the latter. He is a living example of the fact that a man eau become useful in a college community in spite of the fact that he has absolutely no ath- letic tendencies. 26
