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

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

L1I.1.xN V. KAMINSKI, in charge of Department of Greek. A. B., Earlham College, 1398: Bryn Mawr Scholar, 1398-993 Professor of Creek, Xvllllllllgitllll Col- lege, 1900-039 Graduate Student, The University of Chicago, 1904. A petite figure, a smiling countenance, a cheery voice, and a love of Greek-and we have coni- plete another of the HLll11l'lZ11'1'16Cl memhers, etc. Greek is her object in life. hut as side issues, it is presumed that she takes quite an interest in library science and the proper method of teaching his- tory. That she likes to have her own way is not surprising-it is woman's nature. LAU1uaNc1-3 ll.xm.12v, Instructor in Pure Mathematics. 13. S., Earlham College, 1902g Graduate Student, The University of lllichigan, Sunnncr, 190-lg Earlham College, from 1902. Gov.', has been carrying notes for the past four years and has become an adept at the art. being greatly helped by his ruhher heels. He has a keen sense of humor and appreciates fun so greatly that he visits every crowd of fun-seekers. Although an instructor in Pure Mathematics, he has evolved one stanza of poetry which he does not hesitate to use. lt's not right, lt's not fair, 1t's not the manly thing to do. ANNA DILLER S'r.xRizUcK, Director of Department of Music. Graduate 1-lellmuth College School of Music, 1837: Student of Carl Reinecke and others in Con- servatorium of Music, Leipsic, 1387-89: Teacher of llarmony and Counterpoint, llelhnuth Col- lege, 1839-90: Director of Music, Bishop Hopkins llall. Burlington, Vt.. 1890-93: Student in Radcliffe College, 1893-06: Director of Music, Dana llall School, XVellesley, Mass., 1895-97: .X. B., Stanford University, 19035 Student of Robert Freund and others in Musikschule, Zurich. 1903-04. Mrs. Starbuck is as prominent in the musical world as is her distinguished husband in the helds of psychology and ahsentmincleclness-and is about the hardest worked mortal in the professorial ranks. We like to watch her on her chapel-mornings, for she can juggle the longest technical terinst with perfect ease and the pleasantest of smiles. But then when she plays canons and fugues from the ultra-classics we, of the uninitiated, can tell what they mean and enjoy them hugely, 27
