Professor Wallace, better known as Graveyard, has the correct idea that Freshmen don ' t know anything about math when they come out of high school, so lie starts them off right in Engineering by giving them something to worry about in the shape of Algebra and Trigonometry. He bears down on Factoring. He likes to see) you know something about functions of an angle, too. A lot of the boys go back to the hardware and grocery business after taking a few of his quizzes, so he is quite a help to the engineering- profession. Professor Gladney, otherwise known as King, heads the Civil Engineering department. If you know Strength you are all right. Otherwise, he would rather see you back at home with the folks. Don ' t ever intimate to him that all Civil Engineers do is survey ground. It might be dangerous, or worse. He goes over to the window occasionally and puts his foot 1 on the radiator. When that happens, sit tight and hold everything, because he is getting ready then to put up some bending moment equations about twenty-seven feet long. Professor Carroll, known here affectionately as Shorty, dispenses Chemistry in hourly doses. He knows Chemistry front, back, and sideways, as well as up and down. He likes Ionic Equilibria pretty well, and also the Atomic Theory, but he is long gone when he reaches the Periodic System. He lectures from the top of a high stool, so as to see everybody — making thirty or forty round trips over to the blackboard per hour, but when he reaches Mendelejeff ' s Law he gets so interested he forgets all about sitting down. Professor Cooper teaches English and likes it, mainly because he gets a lot of laughs out of the dumb things Freshmen say on themes. If all the themes he has waded through were laid margin to margin, nobody would know how far they would reach — but we make a guess at about Flagstaff, Arizona, or maybe Greybull, Wyoming. He likes chess about as well as anything, and he enjoys springing something new on Professor Towles, causing the latter to smoke up a whole can full of Prince Albert trying to figure out what his idea is. Professor Patterson, known by everybody as Prof. Pat, is the head of the Electrical Engineer- ing department. He has taught Electricity so long that he knows what students can understand, and what they can ' t, so he picks Alternating Current apart in little pieces and makes it so clear that you can ' t help knowing something about transformers, and synchronous motors and converters. He makes circle diagrams of Sink motors darn near talk, and that ' s not all. When Dr. Butts talks you can ' t help but listen. He knows Political Science, and he knows how to make it interesting. He walks in class just as the whistle blows and says ' . ' Where were we? Then he gets down to business and you get so interested you forget all about taking any notes. He says they had the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia because Benjamin Franklin, who was pretty old then, could reach up and get his hat when lunch time came and get home and back again without any trouble. It ' s little things like that that make his courses full of life and interest. 24 wmm

Brackin Beverly Professor Brackin knows as much about Modern English authors and their books as anybody could unless they lived with them, maybe, and talked with them around the tire and knew the neighbors, and all the children. You might find something he hasn ' t read, but the chances are he can tell you more about it than you can the day after you read it. He knows how to put it out, too. That ' s the main reason his sections fill up so soon. Professor Carpenter is the kind that makes a student glad to work lor him. Somehow, you don ' t feel like he is a professor at all. He is all business, though, and you know something- about drainage and ditching when you get his course off. He knows his course, and you don ' t mind working for a professor like that. Dr. Mitchell is the college surgeon. He knows students so well by now that he can .iust look at a fellow that wants to miss class on account of a headache and tell right away that he is trying to get around a quiz. On account of that the health of the student body is excellent. Fellows go over to the hospital with everything from a toothache to fallen arches, but the minute their eye lights on the six-man size dose of salts, the pain disappears in a cloud of dust making ninety miles an hour. Mrs. Beverly is one of the cashiers in the cafeteria. If anybody was to run a popularity contest around here, all the other contestants would just naturally withdraw the minute they saw her name on the list. She has a pleasant word and a smile for everybody, and it ' s always a pleasure to pass down her side of the line. She ' s always there, too, and you look forward to speaking to her. She sort of reminds you of the folks back home. Professor McKee teaches botany. He knows more about a plant that it does itself. He ' s the kind that makes you want to work for him, too. He knows how to put it out without you needing- five botanical dictionaries and L,uther Burbank as confidential adviser in order to understand what it ' s all about. Most professors sporting a Dr. in front of their names arc not in his class, and we wouldn ' t be at all surprised to see him blossom out with one most any time. Professor Lucas teaches Machine Design, Machine Shop, and Welding. If you have a notion that a welded .ioint won ' t stand up alongside a rivited one, for the love of Mike, don ' t let him read your mind. Never call a lathe job an exercise, either. Anything else would be better. If there ever was anybody that ' knew their stuff, though, Buddy knows his. He can tell you what you want to know without an unnecessary word, too. He is always at work on something for the Military Department when he has no classes, and he is one of the big reasons why A. M. Artillery unit stands at the head of the list in the United States. 25
