Dr. Walter Jonts, then Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy in Wit- tenberg College, was chosen. Wittenberg ' s loss was Purdue ' s gain, for the coming of Dr. Jones gave new strength to an already strong depart- ment. Though a young man, Dr. Jones has had a wide experience, and has the highest qualifications both for teaching his subject and for deal- ing with his students. Dr. Jones was graduated from the Baltimore City College in 1884, at the age of nineteen. Entering Johns Hopkins University as a special -Student, he then spent a year in the study of the classics. From 1885 to 1S8S he held an honorary Hopkins scholarship, and studied for the degree of B. A. in physics and chemistry. In 1891 Dr. Jones received the degree of Ph. D. in chemistry, mineralogy and geology. During this time he was a university scholar. Fellow by Courtesy and Assistant in Organic Chemistry. After taking the degree of Ph. D., Dr. Jones was called to occupy the chair of Chemistry and Mineralogy at Wittenberg College, in Spring- field, Ohio. Here he remained for one year, resigning his position to become Instructor of Chemi.stry in Purdue University. During the year that Dr. Jones filled the position of Instructor in Chemistry his work was found so satisfactory that in the year following he was made Professor of Analytical Chemistry, which position he now occupies. Dr. Jones is a member of the American Chemical Society and of the German Chemical Society, and is now at work upon a series of experiments which will be published within a short time. It is difficult in a short article to give to a stranger any insight into the individuality of the man of whom we write — to do justice to his strength. Though a speciali.st in chemistry, he has not directed his attention to this one science .so completely as to become narrow, but has laid a broad foundation for his .special work by the study of mathematics, cla.ssics and biology. It is in the class room and laboratory that his power is felt especial- ly. His strong personality and his fine character as a student give him that trait most admirable in a teacher — the ability to impress a .student with something of his own enthusiasm and love for his work. Any student taking a course in chemistry can not fail to receive a most thorough and excellent training in the .science under instruction of Dr. Jones.

Prof. W. K. Hatt, A. B., C. E. William Kendrick Hatt, A. B., C. E., Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, was born at Frederickton, New Brunswick, October lo, 1868. He graduated from University of New Brunswick at nineteen, having won scholarships in English Literature and Mathematics. After leaving the university he was employed for a year and a half on the engineering staff of the Intercolonial Railway of Canada. He then entered Cornell as a resident graduate in civil engineering, and in 1891 received the degree of Civil Engineer. He has since held positions as draughtsman for Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Professor of Civil En- gineering at University of New Brunswick, Instructor of Civil Engineer- ing at Cornell, and in 1893 he accepted his present position at Purdue. Professor Hatt has had quite a varied field experience, having been resident engineer of Grafton and Upton Railwa} ' , Mass., and Engineer of Eand Claims of Windsor Branch Railway. Since being at Purdue, associated with Prof. Phillips in the drainage problem of the Kankakee marshes, and at present is town engineer of West EaFayette. Prof. Hatt has now been with us for two years ; during this time he has had studies in all the engineering schools, so the larger part of our upper classmen have come in contact with him in the class room. No other professor has made a better impression or been more universally popular with his students. He is always earnest and enthusiastic, quick to recognize and encourage merit. He has seldom had occasion for reproof, but when it is required the warning has so mingled severity with gentlemanly consideration that it has been remembered while no ill-feeling was cherished. It would be hard to find a better combination of talents in a pro- fessor. He is industrious, well informed, courteous, inspiring — a model professor and an accomplished gentleman. Walter Jones, A. B., Ph. D. In the fall of 1892, upon the election of Dr. W. E. Stone to the Vice-Presidency of the University, it became necessary to add a new member to the corps of instructors in chemistry. To fill the position. 17
