Since then he has confined himself to the teaching of Sociology, Economics, and Politics. In 1905 he was ordained to the Christian ministry as assistant pastor of St. Stephenfs Reformed Church, Lancaster, Pa. The degree of Doctor of Science was conferred upon him in 1913 by Ursinus College. Dr. Qlliester is a member of the following so- cieties: American Economic Association, American Political Science Association, American Sociological Society, American Academy of Political and Social Science, Academy of Political Science associated with Columbia University, Pennsylvania Cer- man Society, and Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship Fraternity. WVe know Dr. Hiester as a minister, a practical example of? what he preaches, as a citizen, always working under the loftiest of ideals, whether on the political platform or for a Charity Society, but as a teacher we know him best and consequently appreciate him most. Dr. Hiester possesses the qualifications of a great teacher. He is a master in the art of questioning. lfle not only knows his subject but has an abundance ol' correlating knowledge at his command, knowing the comparative value of' his material. Qlfle is respected, loved, and admired by his students. Dr. Qlliester is firm in the classroom, yet it takes but a short time for the stud- ent to penetrate his mask and see as well. as to feel that his great heart beats for his students, and that his every word and act is impelled by their welfare. Therefore we, the class of 1918,-having no adequate means of expressing our gratitude for the inspiration and guidance he has given us, except this, our year-book,-do earnestly hope that for him it may stand as a lasting memorial of our esteem and admira- tion. -7-

Prologue The college circle will little remember us, the Class of 1918, little noting who we were or what we said here, but it can never forget what we did here. In a short college generation of four years, at the most, we will have practically been forgotten, but our works will live on. Cognieant then that this will be one of the few works by which we will be remembered, that it is serve as a scroll on which our deeds are writ, that it will be our escutcheon on which are emblazoned our triumphs and defeats, we have endeavored to make this, the thirty-fourth issue of THE ORI- FLAMME, an ORIFLAMME sans pareil. We have attempted to set forth without fear or prejudice, in an impartial manner, both the serious and humorous sides of the activities of our class in particular and the College in general in the Trinity of Time-Past, Present, and Future,-in such a manner as to re- dound to the credit of the respective bodies. How well we have succeeded in causing to shine forth brightly the smoldering flame of gold is for you, dear reader, to judge. We have done our best, and in this mood we extend this production to you, fully realizing that it is not the compilation of a coterie of consummate artists. THE STAFF. -3-
