MR. EDWIN HOADLEY 357 Charles Street, Boston, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. Instructor in Mechanical Drawing, Design, and Composition Mr. Hoadley is liked by all who meet him, for he is a vivacious, jolly conver- sationalist, who captivates his audience with his human and interesting stories. He is interested in psychologv, soci- ology and other serious subjects, and is the guiding spirit of the Magic Club and our school athletes. He is a talented draftsman and water- colorist, but his foru is dynamic sym- metry, in which field he is a recognized authority and has done considerable writing, lecturing, and original re- search. MR. ERNEST L. MAJOR Fenway Studios, Ipswich Street, Boston, Mass.

Institute of Technology Instructor in Architectural Drawing On Fridays one may see this cheerful, business-like gentleman imparting a knowledge of Doric columns and modern houses to the Sophomores. Under his skilled hand architecture takes on a thrilling beauty and its crea- tion seems not so far beyond our reach as we had thought. r MR. WALTER W. JAMISON 106 Beals Street, Brookline, Mass. Graduate of Yale A.B.; Harvard A.M.; Columbia; Instructor at M. I. T. Instructor in English ■ ‘Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside. And naked on the air of Heaven ride, Were’t not a shame — were’t not a shame for him In this clay carcase crippled to abide? ' ’ MISS ANNA M. HATHAWAY 1409 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, Mass. Graduate of M. S. A.; School of Design of Lowell Institute; Harvard Summer School Instructor in Color Harmony and Pencil Drawing Two lines from a New England poet flash through our minds when we meet or think of Anna Hathaway. “The forest is my loyal friend,” and “Sober on a fund of joy, the woods at heart are glad.” First the forest motif, a welcome sensa- tion of freedom from noise, from intrud- ing crowds, a sudden realization that there is time to think; that here, too, is dependable, never failing friendship. In the fund of joy, sober, serious, con- trolled, we are conscious of the inex- haustible richness of that accumulated and growing treasure, but just as certain that “once upon a time” the guardian of the original golden gladness, the source of the present fund, was a mis- chievous, daring forest elf. Haven’t you all glimpsed that little sprite? MR. ADRIAN J. lORIO 383 Boylston Street, Boston, Mass. Instructor in Design A very kind gentleman who appreciates so well the efforts of all the young “hopefuls.” He is eager to help any one at any time, and his advice and criticisms are invaluable to one who would scale the ladder to success in commercial art.

A.; Cooper Union; Pratt Institute; Chicago School of Design Instructor in Costume Illustration In Mrs. Rugg, one finds friendliness, frankness, and a fighting spirit. You may enjoy her friendliness and frankness if you will seek an opportunity to talk with this member of the faculty, who is often mistaken for a student. As to the fighting spirit, has she not said she would be satisfied only when every position, calling for a costume illustra- tor in Boston, was filled by an M. S. grad uate? MR. LAURIN H. MARTIN 14 Park Street, Lowell, Mass. Cowles School of Art, Birmingham, England ; School of Art, London County, Council of Arts and Crafts; South Ken- sington Medal Instructor in Metal Crafts Aesthetic values in art change in im- portance from age to age, but good craftsmanship is eternal in its appeal. Behind the craftsmanship is the crafts- man, happv in the knowledge that his work will be prized in direct ratio to his skill and sincerity of purpose. Mr. Martin is such a happy craftsman, he knows his craft and understands his materials; he allows his medium to speak in terms of its natural beauty and the degree of its preciousness. The result is good craftsmanship and art, because Mr. Martin is an artist. MR. LEO O ' DONNELL 20 Netherlands Road, Brookline, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A.
