On the other hand, if it is a ubawling out you are looking for, the one sure way of securing it is to appear in his classes continually with lessons unprepared. Freshmen and numbskulls especially are the objects of his numerous tirades. Dippy's short and snappy four-minute speeches at mass meetings always create the desirecl spirit and enthusiasm. BECK- While words of learned length and tlwmdering sozmd Amazed the gazing 1'u..s'ties ranged 1l7'01li'llIl.,, This man is obviously and '4preeminently versatile. He can talk authoritatively on any subject from the origin of the ajaia ajaja to the baffling problems of the impenetrable ancl the unknown of geology, chemistry, and ornithology. 'S Herbie's many personal scientific investiga- tions and researches have been made in Lancaster County, with Lititz, of which town he has been a life-long resident, as his heaclquarters. SCI-IAEFFER- Of Studie tooh' he most cure and most hedef, He is a keen and thorough scholar himself, and expects all the mem- bers of his class to try to be the same. Hence he is very exacting in his requirements anal very scrupulous in his marking.

A THE FACULTY APPLE- lJisc1'est hc was and of great 7'6'Ul?7'6IlCL'.,, This gentleman takes great pride in displaying a highly polished Phi Beta Kappa key. He is best known to the students for his periodical digressions during chapel service, at which time he takes occasion to remon- strate with dilatory and delinquent students concerning payment of con- tingent fees, chapel attendance and make-up examinations. MULL- Somlivzge in moral zrcrtu, was his s pechc, Anal gladly wolde he lame, and gladly techs. 46 Doc Georgie is loved by all who come in contact with him, and students especially find in him a sincere friend. He is one of the oldest and most revered men at the institution, and the students all profit by his long experience. i KERSCHNER- For his science and his high 1'en01m. It is a familiar sight to see 4'Tuf'Fy,' jogging across the campus in his swallow-tail coat, with his hands folded behind his back, and his head bent in deep and serious thought. All students of physics are acquainted with his idiosyncrasies, the outstanding features of which are his ve1'nac- ular and his sensitive and e1'ratic temper.

Among his standard illustrations, the example of the shoe- factoryf' the hogsl1ead-a-water-in-a-1ak, and the nigger behind the woodpile are the most hackncyed. Students have trouble in understand- ing his vague and indefinite queries, as can be easily imagined from the following typical example: VVaddappened-n-Europe-1653? ..14,T

VVhenever a G1'eek passage of rare beauty is encountered in his classes, it invariably brings forth the following comment from Foxie : N Now isn't this delicious? He is occasionally annoyed by misplaced aorists. I GROSE- 1710 dispcmcr of ll'llIll?Sfll6'flC doses. Howard rolls his owng and is the only man in college who can per- form this feat with one hand. He is also noted for his Napoleonic pose and his Charlie Chaplin moustache. His somniferous lectures are greatly appreciated by the night hawks and those weary of limb. VVEISGERBER- In his duty prompt af awry call. Billy is one of the most pleasant and atfable men on the faculty, as all chemistry students are aware. His favorite plaything while lectur- ing is a piece of chalk, which he fingers with the two remaining digits of his left hand. His most conspicuous habit is stroking his chin. It has been said that he does this in order to d1'aw the knowledge from his mind. MEYERS- And, certainly, he was Il good fclawcf' Charlie 3 makes his lectures on English Literature interesting by relevant digressions on philosophy and current events. At times he despairs of college students ever acquiring any literary proficiency, and this feeling is aggravated whe11 he has,to correct freshmen themes.
