Humorous anecdotes, floods of facts stated in an easy conversational way, and the invigorating charm of Mr. Raymond ' s own personality make the history course a popular one. A man of wide travel and v.t utilized observational powers, he has besides, a thoroughgoing knowledge of his subject. His work with the college debat ' ing teams has met with marked succes:. and he is himself well-known for his fair- ness in judging debates. Miss Metta J. Ross, A.B. There are those who are so engrossed in matters pertaining to the past that events of current interest entirely escape their attention. Especially is this true of pro- ponents of history, but indeed not so of Miss Ross. She is vitally interested in modern trends and is far from being what is termed a dusty historian. Miss Ross ittended Western State Teachers ' College, the University of Wisconsin, taking her A.B. at Hope College. « 23 »
