EDGAR H. S'rRixN.xH.xN, Instructor in Biblical Literature. B. L., Earlham College, 18983 Pastor Friends Church, Jonesboro, lnd.. 1398-1900: Sabina, Qhio. 1900-1904g Professor of Greek and Biblical Instruction, NVilmington College, 1904-05. We clon't see how Edgar missed being voted the baldest Prof.-but then this is his lirst year here and the students probably thought the honor ought to go to an older inhabitant. Fact is, they don't know so 'Z't'l'j' much about him except that he has a pleasant smile and gives really iirst-rate chapel talks. He takes a lN1aster's degree this year along with other pastimes. The rumor goes that he is married. XVALTER Corrix XV1I-soN, Assistant Physical Director and Instructor in Mathematics. B. S., Earlham College, 1904: Graduate Student and Assistant in Gymnasium, Yale Univer- sity, 1904-05. Wallie has had extra hard work this year. Although his duties as physical director and in- structor in mathematics have not caused him a great deal of trouble, yet acting like a Prof. has been hard for him and he has not succeeded at all times. He is an intense admirer of the classical drama, although that is hardly in his department. His laugh is still one of the features of the col- lege. Miss CLARA RROXVN, Lady Principal and Assistant in English. A. B., Earlham, 1897: Graduate Student Indiana University, 18983 Head of English Depart- ment, Noblesville High School, 1897-19053 Earlham College, 1905-1906. Miss Brown has one cross to bear, especially when the days grow long in the spring-the girls 'ZUUIIII' get in on time for supper Clt is too bad that dormitory girls will act that wayl. She can frown, too, when occasion requires, but the old saw about the bark and the bite is applicable for she usually gets things to come out as they should, and smiling, and these same naughty girls say she is all right. 221

Xlukuixv Surifriiv li1iNwoR'rHv, Instructor in Biblical Literature. B. L., Earlham College, 19005 Pastor Friends Church, Paoli and Kokomo, Indianag A. M., Earlhain, 1905. Kenworthy is a Iluent talker, no one will deny. As a student he always seemed to have won- derful abilities in this line. Not many of us have the good fortune to be in any of the classes over which he presides, but we presume the same gift is there in all its splendor. Perhaps he has to do his talking at school, for he is one of the married ones.-He has built himself a house on the old historic National Road, beneath the pines. lirsui N. hI.XRSll.'xI,l., Instructor in Domestic Science and Assistant in Physical Culture. Undergraduate Student Lewis Institute: Graduate Drexel Institute, 1904. Another one of the unmarried members of the faculty. She is very vigorous and athletic, and it is even vaguely rumored that she can keep step with Daddy However, her main interest is in Domestic Science, and if you have ever attended one of her demonstrations and eaten any of the scientilically prepared good things you will agree with her at once that Domestic Science at Iiarl- ham is not a joke. S.xic.xn M. I'IlLL, Instructor in German. A. B.. liarlham, 1901. Graduate Scholar Bryn Mawr, 1903-04: Fellow in Teutonic Philology, illid, 1904-051 lnstructor in German, Earlham, 1905. German is play and French is pleasure when we can have it administered by such a preceptress. What further eulogy is needed? VVe could spend hours telling of her cheery manner and her pleas- ant smile, and how even those of us who haven't the privilege of being in her classes are delighted every day thereby. But we forbear, knowing that we waste Words. 28

LI2oN L. Tvusn, Assistant in English. Principal High School, Bath, Mich., 1891-95: Superintendent Grand Ledge, Mich, 1895-98: LL. B., University of Michigan, 1900: Principal Fairmount Academy, 1901-05, on leave of absence 1905-06: llarvard Summer School, 1903. Leon is principal of Fairmount Academy when in his native haunts, but desiring a wider knowl- edge of the world he picked up his household gods and came to Earlham for a year's lay-off. He- though married-takes his Bachelor's degree with the 1906 bunch, and earns his board by helping teach. He has won quite a reputation in Prep. English by his genial ways and thorough command of the subject. and we have no doubt that if a few hundred-to-one shots had withdrawn from the race he would have had lirst money as most valuable to liarlhamf' Miss 'lil2.XNNE'l l'li l0llXV.XRllS, Instructor in Voice. Student at liarlliam two years: Graduate lXletropolitan School of Music, 1905: Graduate Student, ilvid, 1905-1906: lnstructor in Voice. liarlliam, 1905-06. The air is rent Cnot rentedl for a day and a half once a week regularly when Miss Edwards haunts the premises. lt is not Inv' voice we hear though-just the young hopefuls. lVe hear llfl' voice only on state occasions: at which times we enjoy a rare treat, you may be sure, Miss .liissnz lxv, lnstructor in Violin. Graduate Merslion Music School: Graduate Cincinnati Conservatory of Music: Instructor in Violin, lfarlham. 1904-06. The Quakers l1aven't gone as far as the Violin, it seems, in musical development. and Miss -lay's pupils here demand very little of her time. llut her violin has made her famous and no one can ever forget her, who has heard her play and seen her charming little bow. 30
