The Faculty Now. ladies and gentlemen, we are about to read over the pedigrees, and look over the physiognomies, of a notorious crowd-the Faculty of Muskin- gum Collegei Doc., of course, is the ring-leader. The two oldest members of this illustrious body, both in years and ser- vice,are Professors Gray and Payden, of the departments of Mathematics and l.atin, respectively. They were' teaching when Father went to Muskingum and are still hard at work instructing the second and third generations. The next round takes in Dean McDonald, Profs. Coleman, Lowery, Stewart and Bryant. Dean Mac is the one who listens to your tale of woe when you over- sleep and miss that seven o'cloek, and, in spite of his many duties as Dean, he finds time to instruct the youths and maidens in Economics and kindred sub- iects Vtlho is a more ardent fan than Coleman? He has said that he would rather see a good baseball game than eat. Who can tell you more about why wheels go round than jack? Stewart questions us bout the his- tory of everything, and his specialty is argument. Wlao rides his hobby harder than Bugs Bryant rides his of Biology and Landscape Gardening? Tn the last two or three years we have had some noteworthy additions to our Faculty. Professor and Mrs. Layton were the first, and their efficient work in coaching debate has won many a decision for Muskingum. They were absent on leave to study at the University of Michigan this year, but we are looking forward to having them in our midst in the future. During their ab- sence, G. Ried Johnson, '16, is tal-:ing good care of the department of Oratory. The next in order is that good-looking Southern Gentleman who presides over the English Department. He is as hard working as he is good-looking, and is making good. This year we have had added Professors Good, Copeland and Taggart, of the Departments of Bible and Education, Chemistry, and Greek. Professor Good is so good in teaching the Bible that he had us all worried at exam time. Copeland is an old Muskingum man and has the stuff, All the frequenters of the underworld say he is great. Taggart, also, is making good at teaching the gentle art of horsemanship. Another man from the Class of '16 decided that he would stick round the old school for awhile, probably for a purpose, and he is making good in instructing the preps. He is said to be as true as Steele. The VVomen of the Faculty are just as good or a little better than the men, for they were able to defeat the Y. W. Cabinet at Basketball, while the men failed to down the Y. M. bunch. Misses Stewart and Sharp handle the Germans and Allies CFrenchj, tho lately Miss Sharp has added Spanish to her list. Miss Gray teaches the fair co-eds to paint china, etc. Miss Mehollin tells the preps why Caesar invaded Gaul, Miss Petrich pounds the history into them, and Mrs. Baggs gives them the first principles of Algebra. Miss Brown is the sponsor of the Freshmen and teaches them English as she is spoke. Misses Lawrence and McKelvey in the Domestic Science Department prepare the girls for future usefulness. Miss Stone is interested in English, while Mrs. Moore, Dean of VVomen, sees that he leaves at ten. Professor Freeman, 'I-losmer, Gray, and Miss Anderson form the Faculty of the Conservatory. Freeman plays the organ and piano, Hosmer sings, Bill Gray fiddles, and Miss Anderson both plays and sings, and you have some melody. Cam and Ham are the men who keep us warm in winter and keep the place looking good in spring and summer. They are the Engineers. Taken all together they are a mighty Fine bunch. They have the welfare of the school at heart, and we respect and love them. 1l'ap:e 303
