1)A 1I) WORTH I)EXX! . A. .M.. Ph. D. Professor of Biology. l)a(Ul.y Dennis knows nil about everything; how the universe evoluted from chaos clear up to the Panama ca- nal; the songs of the hco.i and the birds and Ihe se- crets of the out-door w ' orhl. He is a cham))ion of peiu-c. and when •■Daildv Dennis has his way all swords sliall be turned inti. ])loiigh sh-.ires and cannons into sewer pipes. His wealth of knowl- edge, his store of fun, his dynamic personality make his classes a rare privilege. W.M. X. TRrKHLdnl) Picifessor of Litciatuic. aiul Anglo-Sa.xoM. ' ho can ever forget that fine, lenient smile that spreads over Prof. William N. ' s face when some youth- ful upstart makes a wild mistake? A grand old man, still younger than some of his students. He uses yards of chalk in giving out the truth in English; and his ]iliilosophv of life speaks for itself. KDWIX P. TIUKISLOOD, A. M. Professor iMi. the man behind the gun in oratory and debates, has a happy way of injecting so much ginger that an Earlham speaker talks with real feel- ing instead of Hot Air. His whole heart (and he has a great big one) goes into ev- ery good cause. The stndent.3 love him. HAKLIIW i.iXDI.KY. Profess, .r of Histnr Eaitha •ans thi flit last and tries to tcarli lii li.iy to repeat it- self. oluble and good nat- ured, he is a .scholar, and wins friends among the stu- dents who are lucky enougli to kno ' him. ALLi:X 1). HDLK. A. .M., Ph. D. Professor of Geology and Curator of the Joseph Moore Museum. At first blush this tall thin man with a high voice and a larpc mustache could harillv l)i ' cx|ip.tiMl to curate the Kaillunii Mu-i ' um, head the (loology Department, and lead the Peace move- ment for Frienils in Amer- ica all at the same time, but Daddy Hole does all this and some more, besides raising a family. He is the acme of neatness and sipmre, exacting pedagogy.

THE SARGASSO 1914 President and Professor of Philosophy Respedled and admired by all, our President is vibrant, tense, and so full of humor that he can scarce contain himself, even while introducing a chapel speaker. A distindtive little swing to his walk marks him from afar. He is famous as baccalauerate and commencement speaker, and his reputation as one of the finest after dinner speakers in the state is still grow- ing, but we do wish he had more time at home for us to know him better.

ELBERT RUSSELL, A. M. Professor of Biblical Litera- ture and Church History ami College Pastor. Professor Russell has a place in the hearts of the students that neither tongue nor pen can make or mar. Friend and helper to many a doubting Thomas is he. From the chapel platform or in the class room always wo get the inspiration of an earnest mind. His rare smile betrays a rare humanity. AHTHLR M. CHARLES. A. . I. Professor i f German. A tall, (luiet Tiian wl.o can hold forth in any language, French, German, or other- wise. He has the idea we came here to study and has not yet discovered his mis- take. ' EDWIN MORRISON, M.S. Professor of Physics. Jlorrison. meek-easy -going, with a drawd, is our physics jirof.. who. though trying to tighten up his courses, is liked by all. His broad, be- wrinkled, kindly face ano his as we call it will have a firm jilace in all his stu- ilcnts ' mental mcniorv books. J. HERSCHKL COFFIN, Ph. D. Professor of Psychology and Education. Our dainty, handsome Ph. D. with a strong predilection for music and good looking clothes broke quietly into the aiithoi- ' s circle recently with his Socialized Con- science. His book is being adopted in universities and colleges by leaps and bounds. Also he is the patron saint of The Glee Club. Hair thins as wisdom grows. HARRY N. HOLMES, M. S. Ph. 1). Professor of Chemistry. If you hear a Gatlinggun in chapel or a rapid-fire field piece in the cheni lab or a war drum at the head of the songs committee — that ' s Dr. Holmes. He ' s full of pep and likes to make the atmosphere tremble around him, but he has a heart and a smile, too, for human frailty, cowering Freshmen to the Contrary notwithstanding.
