Efetti,-S275 THE WESLEYANA 1911 EQQE DR. J. C. ZELLER Some men, like mighty rivers, so deep, so powerful with ever increasing force, sweep destiny before them, but in a quiet way that decides. And that is the reason why we, when immersed deep in the flow of philosophic speculation in Dr. Zeller's class, forgot sometimes his true measure in the liking of his kindly nature. Since he has left us to head one of the universities of Methodism and make a name for himself in Methodist history, we have realized, and are thankful for the pleasure and inspiration that was ours by virtue of his acquaintance. Our regret at his loss we may not state-it grows with time, but we heartily felicitate the new North-west upon the leader and teacher that it has gained. JUDGE RUSSELL. School teacher, college student, law student. lawyer, law professor, judge,-these were the rounds by which Judge Russell had climbed the ladder. and we had hoped that he might linger a little time longer on the last round-but alas! Although he had a great field in reform work here,-we refer to the law students, of course,-the call to a higher opportunity prevailed, and some of us escape for a space that incessant hammering of the principles of pleading. Ours is a great loss in the passing out of so great a teacher and man, but we rejoice immeasurably in the honor which has been bestowed on this truly representative XYesleyan man. PROF. NVINTER, Among a galaxy of exotic flowers revelling in color and fragrance, he was the modest, retiring violet, and yet but for that gentle winning smile, we might never have learned the psychic value of fudge or the appeal of the eternal feminine to the studious scientist. For the privilege of gathering data on these subjects we are profoundly grateful a11d are sorry, dreadful sorry, that observation is at an end. VVe must mourn Illinois NVesleyan's loss in his departure, but congratulate Texas on its new citizen. PROF. STAEHLING. VVe sorely miss from our midst one who was at once our Beau Brummel and Lord Chesterfield. In him were mirrored all the graces of Mammen and observances of social usage, and to him we were wont to look for guidance in the choice of- neckwear of varied hue which still would be pleasing to the aesthetic sense. W'ell, he's gone-to green helds and pastures new-to teach the youth of Wiscotisiii the social value of the red tie. Our sincerest wishes go out to him for his continued success. ll
