Mr. OTIS A. PHILBRICK 10 Hill Crest Pkwy, Winchester, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. Instructor in Life Drawing and Painting In a humorous, tolerant and kindly manner Mr. Philbrick gives truly help- ful criticisms to all students. Quietly and unpretentiously, he sets for us those high standards which inspire all to nobler thought. MRS. MARY M. RUGG 44 Hobomack Road, Quincy, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. 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. Instructor in Illustration and Life Drawing Critical, amusing, complimentary only in the most deserving cases, Mr. O ' Donnell has gained a place in our affections. On those rare occasions when he shares stimulating comments on literature, drama, or contemporary art we realize how much a “modern he is. MISS LILLIAN A. PHILLIPS 59 Perkins Street, Jamaica Plain, Mass. Alumnus, M. S. A. ; Degrees B.S., M. A., Columbia University Extension Work Instructor in Crafts A most energetic and admirable instruc- tor, who devo tes her time to the instruc- tion of the ancient and honorable art of craftsmanship. Her extensive knowledge of her subject and her pleasant personality fully equip her for her work. MR. RAYMOND H. PORTER 331 Harvard Street, Cambridge, Mass. Chicago Art Institute Instructor in Modeling and Casting A noble mind, strong in purpose and achievement. Surely not in vain — “My substance of the Common Earth was ta ' en And to this Figure moulded, to be broke Or trampled back to shapeless Earth again.

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. Instructor in Drawing and Painting An artist who has held his aspirations and ideals above the withering touch of the world’s futile criticism. He is hospitable, energetic, and kindly, yet a challenger to all superficiality. MR. ALBERT S. KENDALL 73 Parker Street, Newton Centre, Mass. A.B. Harvard; 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.

MR. FRED J. THOMPSON 368 Long wood Avenue, Boston, Mass. Instructor in Elementary Drawing and Design M. S.

A.; Cowle’s Art School, Harvard, and Universities of Boston and Chicago Head of Department of Art Education A vision of purple asters and heliotrope, a person of gracious friendliness and charm.

Teachers as well as pupils are always assured of a cordial welcome to her at- tractive office retreat, where a few mo- ments with her makes life seem richer and more worthwhile. MRS. EFFIE B. WHITTET 15 Chilton Rd., West Roxbury, Mass. Boston University; Simmons; M. S. A. Librarian Instructor in Library Methods As a source of information, a nurse and a trusting friend, Mrs. Whittet reigns undisputed in her fourth-story kingdom. MRS. ELIZABETH W. PERKINS 231 Perkins St., Jamaica Plain, Mass. Lecturer, Observation and Mental Training through Drawing Quite apart from the Art of Seeing, we have found Mrs. Perkins to be one of thosereally genuine, worth while people. We need not fear that her estimation of us will be biased by the fact that we do not agree with her theories, or that we are unsuccessful in teaching memory sequences! Mrs. Perkins assures us that perspective need not be nearly as difficult as we anticipate. MR. JOHN SHARMAN 80 Somerset Street, Belmont, Mass. Instructor in Painting All w’ho are privileged to know ' and study under Mr. Sharman learn to ad- mire him for his impartiality and desire to help his students. With a nicety of judgment, Mr. Sharman blends constructive criticism and slight praise upon which one builds his hopes and aspirations step by step. DR. LILAH M.
