When did he arrive? In the fall of 1017. He has not been here continually, however, for he spent eight months in Germany and four months in France during his term of service. He has shown his ability as a student by completing his course in three years. Dick has made one of the best records in college and “Dutchie,” realizing his worth as an office man, gave him the place as college Secretary during his senior year. He so conducted his life while here that he demands respect of his fellow students, and every member of the faculty value his judgment as a business man. He has a pleasing disposition and where you see Dick you see his smile. He is a Christian gentleman and he possesses the qualties that spell success. May the world know him as the writer does and his friends will be innumerable. ROBERT GANDY, B. A Sanford, Miss. Philomathean; President Y. M. C.

Throughout the four years spent here, his work has been of the highest type. The Faculty, recognizing his ability and brilliant prospects, awarded him the Dampeer scholarship in his Junior year. All recognize in “Bob” the best all- round student in our midst. No more popular one is to be found among the boys than he, and his popularity is evidenced among the “fair sex” also. Loved and highly esteemed by’ everyone who makes his acquaintance, “Bob” will be of great service to God and humanity as a minster of the Gospel. Page Twenty -six

A., claims the honor of having been the birthplace of the subject of this sketch about the beginning of the present century. Since that time he has been struggling for an education. lie graduated at the Louisville High School in ’17 and entered M. C. the following fall and has been here ever since. “Mantee” has ac- quired the knack of making friends and lias used it freely since coming to this place. No one has more friends than he, both among students and faculty. He is quiet, modest and unassuming, yet firm in his stand for the right; he is one of the best athletes in schooj and also possesses a rare bass voice. A typical, whole-souled college man is the opinion held of him by everyone who knows him. He will likely coach some high school football squad to the state championship next year. WILLTAM E.

Graduating from Clarke Memorial, College in 1914, he engaged in high school work for three years. When Fncle Sam sounded the call, “Our Bill, he got right in,” and served for two years in the TTnited States and overseas, finally pushing on into Germany as Second Lieutenant with the Second Division. Answering the call of the Nazarene, he came to us last year, and completed his course at the close of the first semester this session.
