HERE is something in true manhood which instinctively responds to true womanhood as to no other influence for good, and hence a noble college woman may, if she will, exert a unique power for good among a body of college students. To Miss Roberts as such a noble college woman her co-laborers yield grateful tribute. None but those who have worked with her can properly appreciate the extent of her influence for good at the Iowa State College. A. A. MARSTON. ISS Roberts' service to the Iowa State College has been of the highest or- der, faithful and efficient in every detail, and she is eminently worthy of the place of honor in the Bomb.

Q Tribute. lSS Roberts stands in I. S. C. for thoroughness. She is thoroughly in earnest. She is thoroughly devoted to the welfare of the College and its students. She is a thorough teacher, and all superficial and shoddy work finds quick and thorough condemnation in her presence and before her spirit. She is thoroughly unselhsh. She has a thorough-going faith in humanity, especially the student portion of humanity. But woe to the student who presumes upon this faith, for Miss Roberts also has a thorough knowledge of human nature in its weak places. While thoroughly loyal to I. S. C., Miss Roberts is not provincial, To crown all, Miss Roberts is thoroughly beloved by all her colleagues and by the students. She probably doesn't know it, but she is weaving and wearing a crown of life that will not fade. ALBERT B. STORMS. ISS Roberts is a typical mathematician. Her eager mind runs quickly .from the Alpha to the Omega of the problem. She discerns as it were by instinct, the signihcance of the data given, the line of logic to be followed, the salient points by the way, the details to be filled in, and the shortest and best method of reaching the final result. She has studied ma-thematics to a purpose. She has made its ideals her ideals, and as an instructor is as accurate, thorough, methodical, clear-visioned as the' science she handles. In all her work she measures up to the same high standard. She plans it, executes it, completes it in a masterful way, lays it aside-and is ready for the next duty call. She does things at the time they ought to be done and does them well. The pre-requisite of the most efficient service is an honest desire to render it. Miss Roberts has that desire. She is the embodiment of the spirit of helpfulness. She is never too tired to do the work, that is urgent. In season and out of season, she has given her time and energy to the service of the College, The Department of Mathematics gladly makes acknowledgment of the value of her services. DEAN STANTON, Professor of Mathematics, I. S.YC.
