ANDREW ROLLINS DOLE All the men on the Board of Managers are men of deeds rather than of words, but this newcomer, this Mr. Dole, this Maine boy, is the shyest violet in the bouquet. He has never made a speech to us students — is the only manager who never has. We doubt if we could get him to address us unless we went in a body and carried him in on our shoulders, but we may do that yet, for what he doesn ' t know about glass and paint is not worth knowing. Also, besides being vice-president of the H. M. Hooker Glass and Paint Com- pany, he is president of a valve company of his own. So he might give us a lecture on valves, if he weren ' t so modest. We know several seniors who think they know all about valves, but still have something to learn. Mr. Dole is a special friend of Dr. Tcnney, who is the director of the choirs of the New First Congregational Church, where Mr. Dole worships. Uncle George says that he and Mrs. Dole are like a second father and mother to all the young folks in that church. Well, we students of the Institute feel a bit like orphans ourselves sometimes, and the Annual is not sure but the whole bunch — Catholics, Protestants, Chinese, and Hindus — had better go down and join the choirs of the New First. The oniy trouble is that Uncle George says we can ' t sing. Seventeen

HARRY PRATT JUDSON Rah, rah, rail ; rah, rah, rah ; rah, rah, rah — Judson! This is the noise they make over on the south side when the venerable form with the white mustache and the twinkling blue eyes appears. For Harry Pratt has still a good deal of the boy in him, as his first name shows, even if he is more than three score years and ten, and about to resign from the presidency of the University of Chicago. He has been president since 1906, and was Dean of the Faculty for fourteen or fifteen years before that, in short from the founding behind Director Carman in every educational experiment that the Director has attempted, some of them very important. President Judson made the opening address when Lewis Institute began its glorious career in 1896. He had known the Director years before and was on hand to back him up even then, at the very start. The President has occasionally come to the Institute and made welcome addresses. We have it from Frank Beezeley, president of the Union this year, that Prexy once made us a most impressive address on the cost of educating a college man. Frank gave us the figures and any freshman can see them by calling at the Annual office.
