SAMUEL S. EDMANDS Director of the School The Faculty MYRON ACKLAND Assistant Instructor in Chemistry. Quiet and sphinxlike in school, but when he dons that derby and steps out of the Chem building, fall in, fellows; he’s there. CHARLES M. ALLEN Supervisor of Course in Industrial Chemical Engineering. Even tho we did enjoy sleeping occasionally, the awakening was even more pleasurable, for it restored us to the charm of his sincere interest in our welfare and the excellence of his instruction. GEOFFREY BARE Instructor in Machine Work. Has the difficult job of making mechanics of chemists and machinists of the “mechanicals.” Wall some day write a book entitled “Bare on Teaching.” A bug on outings for the faculty. CHALFANT E. BIVINS Instructor in Analytical Chemistry. He'll never know how much we appreciate his cheerful, patient instruction. Identifies things by taste. Famous for his sense of humor. JOHN W. BURLEY Supervisor of Courses in Machine Construction and Machine Shop Practice. Supervisor and leader in the Machinery Building. Great believer in “seeing the point.” Ardent follower of all athletics involving M.C. and M.S.P. Motto: “If at first you don’t succeed, ‘cut’ and try again.” CLIFFORD C. CARR Instructor in Applied Electricity and Electrical Design. If you want to know anything about electricity, ask him. If he knows, he'll tell you; if he doesn’t—do it some other way. ARTHUR L. COOK Supervisor of Course in Industrial Electrical Engineering. We're always sure of a square deal from “Doc.” A little reluctant at issuing excuses. Apt manipulator of the silver pencil. 18

CORRIE Assistant Instructor in Technical Chemistry. Earnest worker. Has a convincing way with him. Doesn't argue with anyone; argues at them. EDMUND P. DAVIS Instructor in Mathematics. It took quite a while to get onto Mr. Davis, but after the smoker it was easy. Hobby: title pages and hypocycloids. ARTHUR C. HARPER Head Instructor in Machine Design. A good sort. Made design a pleasure and not a task. Chief athletic diversions: bowling and chess. MYRON J. HESS Instructor in Chemistry. We pronounce him matchless. When in trouble, send for him; but be careful how you “help the other fellow.” CHARLES M. HODGE Instructor in Mechanical Laboratory. Has certainly done his best to make us understand that an ignition system is un- necessary on steam turbine. Has superheated faith in steam. A wizard at explaining things. THEODORE HORTON Instructor in Foundry Practice. Ready to answer our questions; makes work a pleasure. “I see the point,” will never be forgotten. H. C. HOSTETTER Instructor in Physics. Dancer; booster for “alley tennis. “Now, just how would you go about this?” DAVID A. ISENBERG Head of Department of Physics. Had everyone baffled for the first three months, but has slowly drawn off the mask. CHARLES B. JONES Instructor in Forge and Machine W ork. Matrimony hasn't spoiled him a bit. Those psychological metallurgy talks were the berries, Mr. Jones. JOHN P. KOTTCAMP Supervisor of Course in Industrial Mechanical Engineering. Strove mightily to instill in the heads of M.E. men the principles of mechanics. Seldom troubled by tardiness. Hobbies: “Strength of Materials” and tennis. A. COLLINS LADNER Instructor in Mathematics. A veritable Archimedes! No problem too deep for him to solve. The student's friend who lightens the burden. ROBERT L. LAFFERANDER Instructor in Technical Chemistry. Energetic, with a reputation for making a chemist out of anyone. Not only. in- structs, but baptises us, in chemistry. 20
