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. He has a very fascinating way of reading, and this he uses to good advantage in creating a student's appreciation of literature. LONG- l'wns certain he could write, and cipher, too, Lnfnds he could measure, farms and tides prcsagc, V And even the story ran that he could gnugcf' He is best known for his stringent trigonometry course, as some stu- dents who are repeating it for the ninth time will testify. He is deeply interested in astronomy, and on a clear night not even a good show at the Colonial could keep him away from the observatory. He is very conscien- -161

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. KLEIN- And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he lmewf, ' All history students are familiar with the following line: Now how many of you gentlemen have done any work on your history papers? Now you gentlemen nmst learn to, etc.', He takes much interest in student activities, especially the literary societies and the Post Pranflial Club, being founder of the latter.

His inseparable companion, '6Spot, is always seen jogging at his side whenever 4' Doc is outdoors. OMVVAKE- Nowhere so bisy a man as he ther nas, And yet he semerl bisier Hum lie was. The Dean is a very chummy sort of' fellow during the most part of the year, but during registration week he is inclined to become hard- boiled,', because of the lllllll7lf.Il.1'i0IlS and trivial questions which he is obliged to answer for unresourcef'ul students at that time. Though a jovial person, the Dean at present is under the illusion that he is quite a humorist. Students seeking a drag are probably responsible for this state ot' affairs. HARBOLD- Yet he was kind, or, i severe in ll'lL0'1It, 1 h The love he bore to learmng was m fozoltf' Uncle Pete is very fond of using the members of' his classes for psychological experiments, and frequently some startling data are obtained. Recently a student responded to an insanity test in such a manner as to warrant his removal to an insane asylum. All psychology students know that bluff' counts for nothing in recitation, and in exami- nations it is quality and not quantity that Pete credits. I-Ie uses tl'e most recent scientific methods in his class room instruction, and has at- tained much note as an educator in the state. CARROLL- A large man he was with eyeu stepef' He is the most recent addition to the faculty. He is especially noted for his stringent requirements. During his short stay here he has acquired much skill in the drawing of circles, because of the large amount of prac- tice he receives while assessing the ignorance of his biology classes. --17-
