If 2 E l QRIHFLMMZ lfeel PROF. A. V. HIESTER.+PfOf. I-Iiester has so much to say and so little time in which to say it that he omits half the sounds of half his words. His by-word is Work, and it does not take him long to see whether a fellow's talk is the result of work or of bluff. The great trial of his life occurs every day when his illustrious son stamps into class five or ten minutes late and dad cannot ball Ernie out as he desires to do. Prof. C. N. HELLER.-AHCI now abideth Chess, Polar Bear and Greek, these threeg but the greatest of these is Polar Bear. Though F oxie does not believe in missing a recitation his classes annually give him a one-day's vacation. Unfortunately they always forget to inform him of the fact. ' Prof. C. E. MEYERS.- Gentlemen, you will notice that I am not so generous this year with my marks as I was in former years, said Charlie as he informed about half his students that they had Hunked. In the classroom he starts talking on some subject off the lesson, and keeps it up for an hour or so, at the end of which time he says that more ground must be covered. Prof. W. F. LONG.-This mathematical gentleman believes in giving tests of five questions at twenty minutes past the hour. For doing this he receives the silent blessings of his victims. Always willing to help anyone as much as he can, he is liked by all who come in touch with him, in spite of the aforesaid tests. Prof. W. E. WEISGERBER.- Bill is a fine fellow, well-liked not only by his students but by all who get to know him. He knows a vast amount of Chemistry, but he has to stroke his chin to draw the knowledge from his mind.

6 ll THE leirime lie .l THE FACULTY PRESIDENT H. H. APPLE.-There is an office in the Science Build- ing marked President, which they say is Dr. Apple's office. If you want to find him, above all things, don't waste your time going to that office. Dr. Apple is very proficient in conducting' chapel. He gets through the service in shorter time every day. PROF. H. H. BECK.-This man is the despair of Freshmen and men seeking high marks. He injects industry and knowledge into his victims by means of low marks and an ever strong supply of gas lectures. Efficiency to the last detail is his motto, and woe unto the hapless student who enters his office with a dirty unknown bottle. PRoF. J. NEVIN SCHAEFFER.-Prof. Schaeffer has the very envi- able task of convincing care-free college youths that Latin, Greek and French are easy. Perhaps they are, most of us, however, study them under him. Prof. Schaeffer works hard and expects everybody else to do likewise. His classes proceed under forced steam from bell to bell. History records that once he dismissed a class three minutes early and that twice he has cut a class entirely. DR. H. M. J. KLEIN.-'Df. Klein is always in a hurry, but never gets there, as far as lessons are concerned. One of his favorite ex- pressions is: I wish I had time to take up this phase of history with you, but we must hurry through this epoch so that we can spend more time on the next. He is opposed to vacations,-at least it would seem so by the amount of work he assigns just before every vacation. He never uses steam-roller methods in conducting recitations, but he demonstrates so much with that long right- index finger that we fear some day it will shake off. .-.I8...

URWFL - KH , E THE Misail Dr. GEORGE F. MULL.-No one is more truly a friend of all the students than Doc. Georgie, His beaming face is a sight familiar to all. A profound student of letters, he is a living com- pendium of all the Latin grammars published. Prof. H. B. GlfOSE.1WCFC it not for this English professor there would be many a Hunk in Sociology. During the hours a student spends in his room he does more studying for Tubby's class than at any other time. This room is also a haven for those who are weary of body. Pop assigns one or two Shakespearean plays for one lesson and thinks nothing of it. Prof. P. W. WHITING.-Prof. Whiting has begun a humanitarian service to the community, yes, uh huh. He has set his classes to dissecting cats, with the result that caterwalling is on the decrease about the college and numerous suitcases and perforated boxes are being carried to the biological laboratory. Prof. Whiting has a most pleasing personality with which most of the college has come in contact at one time or another. Dean H. R. OMWAKE.-This young man, one of the latest addi- tions to our beloved faculty, has come to us after having spent some time teaching the wild orientals in Syria. It is rumored that due to his influence oriental dances will soon be a thing of the past. Except for this one thing the -Dean is a first class friend of the stu- dents. ' Prof. P. M. HARBOLD.- Let us see what the author has to say on the subject. This is the sentence most often repeated in Room O. Dr. Harbold often calls on two men after the dismissal bell has rung. But, we must excuse him for such aberrations, as he is under a terrible strain. Twice a week he has to spend an hour answering and avoiding questions and arguments of P. L. Smith, E. C. Smith, 420- '
