 OLIVER JONES MARSTON. A. M. HISTORY, ECONOMICS. “lie was not for an age, hut fur all time” You will remember that at the close of the last hour we were speaking’’ of a man whose greatest horror is offering a snap course. Now the point 1 want to make is this, that Professor Marston's aim is to get you to thinking, whether you remember anything in the course or not.” But, by the way, there will be an examination on both texts and lectures at the close of the semester. CARL SPENCER MILLIKEN. S. B. BIOI.OCY. How Utile do they see what is, who Ira me Their hasty judgment upon that which seems. A beautiful specimen of enthusiasm is found in Professor Milliken's animated research into bio- logical subjects. Most scientific of all biologists, everything is systematic, even unto tlie “anterior end of his body, where his golden filaments are carefully bisected by a median line.” Presiding with due gravity oxer his laboratories, which resemble a “game pre- serve, lie frequently serves frogs' legs and sweet- breads, garnished with powdered jokes which arc simply irresistible. THEODORE FREDERICK MEIER. A. B. M US1C. When said would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live until were married. When Professor Meier “was in Germany he studied to perfect himself in both piano and violin music. But even in the fatherland Itis mind and heart were in the Fields «if America. So he came back, not only t« furnish litpiid ecstasies to the college, but also to be an ardent supporter of student enterprises. JESSE FOX TAINTOR, A. B. ENGLISH LITERATURE. “Describe him who can, .In abridgement of all that was pleasant in man. If the congregation will look up over the organ they will see a friend who has never wronged anyone in thought, word, or deed; a man who is willing to extend a helping hand to all over the rough places in English, and is ever ready to be to the student a counsellor and friend.

RICHARD CECIL HUGHES. A. M., D. D. PRESIDENT, PSYCHOLOGY. A man he see ms of cheerful yesterdays hid confident tomorrows. Trusting that the “student-body will live up to anything reasonable,” he puts them on their honor and goes out East where the people tell him that the small college is to he one of the large things of the future. He watches over all phases of college activity with a vigilance which never tires, lie is strong-hearted, far-sighted, and firm in his convic- tions of truth. EDWARD WILLIAM CLARK. A. M. LATIN, ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY. .Is clear as a whistle. The heads upon which nature seems to have in- dicted the curse of barrenness 3rc often most abundantly stored with voluminous knowledge. If the ladies will please remove their hats” we will sec a man who takes “excursions to Europe” regularly, and knows all about earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and “stylish coiffures. He is a complete family chronicle, being versed in the genealogy, history, and intermarriages of the whole line of Roman emperors. MARY CORINTHIA HARWOOD. L. M. MODERN LANGUAGES. — And snatch of grace beyond the reach of art.” Qu’est que e’est que cela ? Miss Harwood. She has that rare gift of inspiring others with a belief in their ability to accomplish something. Greeting every- one with a gentle kindness which shows at once her innate refined and quiet dignity, she manages the languages with an ease and elegance which is another of her many charms. Nieht wahr?” FRANK MORTON ERICKSON. A. M. GREEK. Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. Professor Erickson is a rare combination of dry good humor and sharp sarcasm. He has the ability to read his students and take a flimsy excuse for just what it’s worth. If he thinks that’s a good bluff,” he says so. Though a man of few words, his silence is the proverbially eloquent one. Led by him into the fields of higher education, new stu- dents feel perfect confidence in his direction. I‘src Ten

She is always anxious to he of service wherever she can, and in whatever way. 1'here seems no limit to her resources in the line of helpful plans and suggestions. In her classroom she has her individual method of controlling affairs. Every- one has heard that we will wait till there is no more laughing before wc go on. WILLIAM HARLEY BARBER. S. B. PHYSICS. So wise. so young, thry soy, do ne'er tivr long. By a demure •‘You’ll have to guess again,” Professor Barber has a way of giving students something new to think about. Me possesses the power of working without that conscious effort which characterizes the activity of so many men As a genial, companionable man, at work anti in social circles his charming personality has won many friends to himself. FREDERICK LUEHRING. A. M. SOCIOLOGY, ATHI.ETICS. “Double, doublr, toil nnd trouble. 'The recent decided change of scores in Ripen’s athletic record is due, so far as such a change can he due to one man. to the unceasing efforts of Professor I.uchring. With artful ingenuity lie works up the details of the plots which, with superior playing, are to lay our opponents low. !

CHEMISTRY. “ t:m nut only witty in myself, but the eouse that wit is in other men. Ripon College will smile for several years at Professor Gilman's endless fund of anecdotes.
