DR. J. MACE ANDRESS 67 Clyde Street, Newtonville, Mass. Michigan State Normal College, B.Pd., A.B., M.Ed. ; University of Chicago, Ph.M.; Harvard Univ ' ersity, A.M.; Clark University, Ph.D. Instructor in Department of Education A kindly man with ruddy face and keen blue eyes, a sympathy and understand- ing that expects to receive as well as give. He is a good sending and receiving station for thoughts of health, vigor, and the reality of life. MR. RICHARD ANDREW 173 Stratford St., West Roxbury, Mass. Studied with Laurens and Gerome Instructor of Anatomy and Life Painting Familiarly called Dickie everywhere except to his face; his rosary is the spinal vertebra; his conception of anatomy profound. A proficient etcher, he dips his tongue in nitric acid, the better to spray unwary worms with vitriolic questions. But when he takes a pencil or brush in his hand a spell is woven; newcomers approach on tiptoe; time pauses, gravity is suspended and we are lifted up, so that ambitions are renewed, and art, for a moment, seems important and plausible. MR. JOHN E. ALCOTT 55 Florence Avenue, Norwood, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. Department Head, Design, Industrial Contacts In a quick, brusque, and often amusing manner Mr. Alcott gives invaluable criticisms to those would-be commercial artists. He ' s the man for whom one works hard, for his smile and word of approval are indicative of real, worth- while endeavor. MISS ZELLA BUCKINGHAM 58 Falmouth Street, Boston, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. Instructor in Drawing and Painting One of the youngest members of the faculty. Miss Buckingham fulfills her duties as instructor in a quiet, conscien- tious, and pleasant manner, beloved by her students and held in high esteem by all. MR. RALPH D. AYER 14 Cleveland Avenue, Woburn, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. Assistant Instructor in Painting A true gentleman, with all the charac- teristics of an artist, Mr. Ayer is wel- comed back in his new capacity by the many who knew him in student days. Although unpretentious in voice as in manner, in quietness and confidence lies his strength. MISS ETHEL G. BARTLETT 1200 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Mass. Instructor in Water Color One cannot think of Miss Bartlett and not be reminded of Grand Manan and the Arlington Homestead, so greatly have they influenced her life. Sunset glow, fragrant flowers, kindly hospi- tality are in close communion with her life. There still remains with her the glow of cordiality, the open hospitality and pleasantness of contact. To her we owe our facility in the handling of water colors.
