ONE YEAR OF C 0 L L E G E As an integral part of the Law school since 1 3 13 , Dean Loaphart is beloved find some- what feared l y { hi; lawyers-to-be. On gen- eral iu- imi lit arid ' he is an austere, unrespon- sive lawyer with a brilliant analytical mind. Some think that Dean Leaphart regards life and people entirely from an abstract legal viewpoint, hut those who have come lo know him, tell yon that his justice is always tem- pered with kindness and merry, ilis severity is an appreciated quality hy the students who have passed har examinations arid have launched into the status of attorneys at law. Dear i Leeapharl is well liked and respected, and a valued member of Montana ' s faculty. His Law school is rated a mum the I jest. His students say, He ' s a good fellow. H often wonder which Iti ' tltt C. It . h tlj shirt ranks first in Doctor El- rod ' s heart, new bugs, an- gle worms, fish and the flora-fina of Montana, the University itself, or the itudents. We are sure that i he students bold a firm place and are running nee and neck with the Doctor ' s life love, the iiiologx ' -Zoologv department. Doclr,r Klrod wa one of 1 lu earlv members of the faculty and today as vice-president of the University he is one of the foremost. His good fellowship and cameraderie have made him beloved by all. As a man of science he is noted, as a sympathetic listener and invaluable trouble shooter fur the students, his fame is carried in the hearts of the alumni throughout the world. When it comes to loyalty to the institution there are few that will stand ready to battle as quickly and as jf wholeheartedly as the grey haired, fun-lonier doctor of ' % bugs. I This is a sketch of the thin-faced, be- spectacled protector of the English language who holds sway over the throng of mystics, t ' ree verse artists and freshman source themers, from a top floor office of the library. His patience with the authors and his inter- est in student literature is so great that he is continually swamped with strange and uncouth manuscripts awaiting criticism. Professor Merriam has worked long and hard to put the Frontier on an appreciated basis and his creative writing classes have turned out many creditable pieces. Always sympathetic, genial and interested, the Eng- lish professor is considered the friend of every worthy cause on the campus. Profess n- .Merriam is liked by all and admired for his splendid work in the English department.
