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.

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.

WM. O. MENDENHALL, A. M., Ph. D. Professor of Mathematics. Another daddy in our midst! He has a thoughtful face and a quiet manner of saying things, but his eye shine forth with kindliness itself. And he has a way of getting close to Earlham boys and girls that has in- spired many a discouraged LAUREXCE HADLEY, A.M. Professor of Mathematics. Professor Hadley, with the soft smooth voice and com- fortable-looking rotundity, was once accused of being partial to the girls. That may have been because ha is unmarried. But we per- sonally deny the allegator and defy the allegation. He is a favorite — especially with the Glee Club, and can keep his finger on the pulse of Bundy Dorm. • KIHX 1). REA. JI. A. Pi ' ofessor of Classical and English Literature. The Day Dodger. clad- always-in-black man who looks so formidable to those who don ' t know him. Evi- dence his little book of Earl- ham Verse, published this spring, the result of some of his definite notions about what is good in literature. You may not think it, but he ' s a side-splitter! ELIZABETH CONRAD, A. M. Professor of French and Dean of Women. The dean of Earlham Hall, ze French woman with ze liftable eyebrows and shrug- able shoulders. With queen- ly grace or athletic stride she is suitable for all occa- sions. She can assume the the irate dean to perfec- tion, but some of us know how kind a heart that cloak conceals. WALTER C. WOODWARD, M. A., Ph. D. Professor of History and Political Science. The readiest wit, the long- est legs, the sharpest tongue, the funniest man on the fac- ulty. Entering w ith us four years ago Steve has been GUI ' favorite chaperone, and we are proud to say that he has taken out his naturali- zation papers with our class, — our only honorary mem- ber.
