Every morning, while the day is yet young, a quiet, gray-clad man crosses the campus, and, long before the first recitation hour, is comfortably settled in room No. 24 of University Hall. This program has been carried out for nearly ten years with almost as much regularity as any other event which is controlled by the rigid laws of mathematics. Every student of Purdue during this time will hail the familiar featuies of this man in the likeness opposite. Surely, no member of the faculty is known to so large a number of alumni as Professor Stevens, and while the study of math- ematics is not commonly supposed to encourage the growth of sentiment, here is an example to the contrary — a long-time teacher of mathematics, firmly established in the affectionate regard of his pupils. For many years — thirty in round numbers — he has been raising youthful intellects to powers of various degrees, and in the meantime he has not omitted the cultivation of the reverse process of ascertaining the ultimate root of students. A man of strong individuality, but quiet and unaggressive in manner; a firm believer in mathematical ability as a prime essential to all success; with a stern intolerance of laziness and frivolity — Professor Stevens is one of the staunch old types of instructors who are disappearing before a more aggressive class of younger men of whom a like success and esteem can not yet be predicted with certainty. This page can not catalogue his virtues, and will not criticise his faults.
