Dr. Silas Evans is our beloved pres- ident. His strong personality and won- derful ability has a great influence upon all. His chapel talks and class- room work will always be remem- bered by the students. Although a verj busy man, President Evans al- ways has time to give personal advice to those who seek his aid. other institutions envy us our pro- fessor of physics, and well may they do so. As dean of the college. Pro- fessor W. H. Barber ' s influence ex- tends to every individual student. Un- der his guidance everything is con- ducted in a businesslike manner. The personal acquaintance of Pro- fessor Jesse Fox Taintor with the homes and writings of our English writers, renders him a most interest- ing and impressive interpreter of Eng- lish literature. Professor Taintor is a roval entertainer and the pleasant evenings spent by the students at his home will long be remembered. The personal supervision of Profes- sor A. F. Oilman has made our Chem- istrv department famous. As a teacher and friend he has won a place in the heart of every individual student. Dr. Oilman is also a fluent speaker and his lectures are always of the very best character.
