THE MAPLE LEAF PAUL E. WHITMER. A. B.. D. B. Dean of College and Professor of English Here is one of tliose great souls which are making Goshen College. As professor of fCnglish he has ample opportunity to expoimd upon that great poetry which is universal in its appeal, because it illuminates one ' s mind on lofty aspirations and high ideals. Discussions in room ten are often lively and fresh air is always abundant. Not infrequently does he make quiet expeditions into the reading room. At such times the riots are quelled and the hum of industry is again heard for every one knows that when that smile all tlie way roinid the world, is laid off he means business. A fine man, a worthy friend, one whom we all prize highly, is our verdict. DANIELS. GERIG. A. B.. Registrar and Professor of German Our registrar is a man of dignity and decision. He can intelligently discuss any subject which the student maj bring up and do it in such a way that makes you see that he is right and you are wrong. No respecter of persons, yet an optimist who can fully appreciate the comedy of the student ' s ludicrous German translation. An authority on argument and debate. An admirer of Socrates, Goethe and Virgil. Favorite subject, Observations in Europe. DANIEL A. LEHMAN. A. M. Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy Our Scotland ' s son takes delight in large abstractions and measureless infini- tudes for the sake of broadmindedness, but with a conscientious watch to re- main within the real and comprehensible, Siehst du? He is quick to detect mistakes, not slow to omit the unnecessary and loves to see his class-work go on with precision. Isn ' t that so? Page Seventeen

THE .MAPLE LEAF EPHRAIM J. ZOOK. A. M. Librarian. Professor of Greek, Latin and French Tlie oalm, serene look on Prof. Zook ' s face immediately suggests a wise and liriulfot mind. His many years of close contact with the influences of class- icism have given him a certain air of culture and refinement characteristic only of those who have delved deep into the learning of the past. His per- sistent efforts in his own research after truth have developed in him the art of patience, so that he is very sympathetic and longsuffering toward the meanest student. JONATHAN M. KURTZ, A M. Professor of Physical Sciences Prof. Kurtz will lu ' lp you if you are in need of general information. If it is for a debate see him and you win. He is a scientist but is a booster in every department of the college. His smile and congenial personality have made him the stvident ' s friend, lie takes great interest in the work of the literary societies and makes all iiecessarv arrangements for the lecture course even to the minute details. IRWIN R. DETWEILER. A. B. Professor in Bible Individuals are remarkable not in spite of what they do but because of what they do. In the deep undercurrent, imseen liy the observer, many th ings are [)ut into the motion of the stream. Ijittle is known of this under- current but we iind a vast stream moving onward. Deep insight and discretion make good judgment. Nothing superficial or tugitive, but deep-seated and basic are the products of this mystical thinker. GEORGE D. BIVIN, Ph. D. Principal of the Normal School, Professor of Philosophy and Education Dr. liivin has I ' .roiiiised to leuil us liis friendliness for only one year. Dur- ing tins year, in response to his oft repeated request that we, Catch this, we have discovered a striking adaptability, and an unlimited interest in per- sonalities. He is a busy man who can still be a friend to the discouraged student, a professor whose field lies in the study of abnortiialities, a preacher of righteousness, and a I ' ll. 1)., who will condescend to lighten the load of the patient .ianitor. These qualities stantl as reasons why we will miss him next yi ' iW. I ' a s e Nineteen
