RUTH BAKER Instructor, Art, College High School Miss Baker in her short stay with us has made us reahze that there are unusual possibilities for art work in the junior high schools. Miss Baker comes to us from the sunny south, and we feel that she has lived up to the traditions of Ken- tucky with her charming manners and warm friendliness. Before she came to Montclair, Miss Baker was art super- visor in Lexington, Kentucky. N. ELDRED BINGHAM, B.S. Instructor, Science, College High School In the autumn of 1929 we were pleased to find that we had added another young man to the faculty. Mr. Bingham came to us from Ohio where he attended Hiram College, taught school, and served as principal and critic teacher. With this many-sided life in the educational field, Mr. Bing- ham, we feel, is a distinct asset to our college and high school. HAROLD C. BOHN, A.B., A.M. Instructor, English When Mr. Bohn arrived at M. S. T. C, there was an immediate increase in the number of students majoring in English. Mr. Bohn came straight to us from Harvard, and his Harvard accent and his pep have made him a great favorite among the students. As a scholar he is making a great contribution to our college life. Moreover, we feel that no social event can now be a success without him. ZAIDEE BROWN, A.B. Instrvctor, English anil Library Administration Since Montclair is a new college, our library is, of course, still in the formative period. We consider ourselves for- tunate, therefore, in having such a capable person as Miss Brown in charge of the process of building up a real college library. Already she has brought order out of chaos, and so we feel confident of the unqualified success of all her plans for the future. [ 17 ]

JOHN C. STONE, A.B., A.M. Professor of Mathematics Professor Stone is one of our most beloved teachers. Daddy Stone, as he is affection- ately called, has been a member of the faculty at Montclair ever since the Normal School was started, and so his name has be- come almost synonymous with that of the institution. During his years at Montclair, Professor Stone has had an opportunity to observe the growth of the school, and among our most pleasant memories are recol- lections of the times when he has told us about conditions as they used to exist here. But of course, whenever we think of Daddy Stone, we think of mathematics at the same instant, for the two cannot be separated. He has written so many books on the subject that his joke about one of the nights when I wasn ' t writing a book seems scarcely exaggerated. Above all. Professor Stone loves his subject and loves to teach it, thus representing an ideal we all should strive to attain. EDWARD HARLAN WEBSTER, A.B., A.M. Professor of English As the head of the largest department in the college. Professor Webster holds a very important position. His enthusiastic efforts to attain the splendid ideals which his ex- perience and his vision have stimulated have fired many of his students with the desire to be outstanding teachers in the field of Eng- lish as well as thorough students of literature. Nothing short of perfection should satisfy those who have caught the true atmosphere of Professor Webster ' s courses. Not only has he headed the department, but he has also selected a group of unusually well equipped, energetic teachers as his assistants. The Pro- fessor has rendered his methods of instruc- tion of practical value through the publication of several books of recognized worth from the standpoint of all progressive high school teachers. Professor Webster has not allowed his influence to cease with classroom and editorial efforts, for he has spent much time and energy in fostering the Senate and Aldornia. [ 16 ]

MARY MACLEAN CONOLY, A.B., B.S., A.M. Instructor, Psychology Although we have known Miss Conoly but a year, we have learned that she is one of the best natured teachers in the college and that she is always willing to help us in any way she can. Miss Conoly received her A.M. from Peabody College. She has taught mathematics and psychology in the Teachers College of Kentucky and is now an instructor in the psychology department in our State Teachers College. E. WINIFRED CRAWFORD, B.S., M.A. Instructor, Social Science Demonstrator in Visual Education Miss Crawford is one of the really well established mem- bers of the faculty for she was an instructor in the Normal School before our college was organized. Miss Crawford ' s particular interests lie in the field of visual education. She has made a detailed study of the subject and through her enthusiasm has convinced us of its value in education. TERESA DE ESCORIAZA Instructor, French and Spanish Senorita De Escoriaza, who arrived here from Spain in September, has already won a place for herself at Montclair. We are indeed fortunate to have among our faculty one of the first three women ever proposed for membership in the Academia de la Lengua. Moreover, the Senorita possesses such a ready wit and keen sense of humor that she has gained great popularity among the students as well as the faculty. DOROTHY DUKE, B.S., M.A. Director of Physical Education for ' Women Miss Duke, who initiated and sponsored a program of sports for the individual, has made athletics a vital part of college life. In the six years that she has been in Montclair, she has set up an example of sportsmanship and womanhood which has been the ideal of all of her girls. To attain this ideal one would have to be smart in dress, peppy in person- ality, fair in sportsmanship, and sympathetic in attitude. [ 18 ]
