5 HAROLD C. HUMPHREY JACKSONVII,I.E, ILLINOIS Virginia High School 1912. Phi Alpha. ics, B. S. There are born poets, and orators and even born pinochle players but never till the present had we heard of a born mathematician. In fact, we would still be inclined to doubt that anyone could take the differ- ential equations as a prohibitionist to water if it were not for Doc'7 Humphrey. If anyone ever was born with a logarithm in his mouth it was Doc. Ever since he hit the Hill he has whizzed through the mathe- matical curriculum so speedily he has made the faculty dizzy. Also and perhaps consequently Doc is some lady fusser. He doesn't make much noise about it but those who know him best say -0- but they refuse to say. For any man who V can raise mathematics to an art and reduce fuss- A X ing to an exact science we have nothing but re- , spect and admiration.

Track '11, '16, Manager '17. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet '15-'16, '16- '17. Major-Latin, A. B. Illinois cannot have too many students of Royal's stamp. Four years of wrestling with his Latin and Greek and in following the amazing intricacies of the elusive X have given him a certain studious determina- tion that always makes a strong bid for final accomplislnnent. But the languages of the ancients have not claimed all of his attention and although he has more than once made notable Math sharks look to their honors, he has taken an active though unassuming part in student activities. Although Royal usually attends strictly to A5 R,y,1,.,,iSh, have business, contrary to his bachelor habits of his loomed. ivtthose good first two years here, the last two have been If 1- old days marked by frequent dates With a little more fs., Q time at his disposal we can imagine him a con- 'DQT Q firmed fusser. A good, clean, conscientious, , 'TT S consistent worker, Royal has made many lasting N friendships here. f J Q ff 'I X 30

You might take him for any one of a thousand of young grads that step up to get the passport to life. But when he speaks-well, then people turn around to see. Henry broke on our firmament like an unlooked for meteor and with the brilliance and lumination of such a body quite eclipsed the lesser stars. Quite naturally, and reserved to those with whom he is not intimate, he appears on the surface a cold genius but beneath this covering and beneath his Johnsonian characteristics, he is not so different from the rest of us. To those who have been fortunate enough to gain admittance to his circle of in- timates, has come the pleasure of knowing a real Henry 'inl- man. f Henry is a consistent worker, tlllll unlike most literary men lives a full life. An intense student of character, with a nieety of perception, a man of marked personality, he gives promise of a brilliant f' future.
