- The personal interest which Dr. Grace Gertrude Goodrich, our es- teemed professor of the classics, ten- ders the individual, makes the student feel that to excel in these languages is, if nothing else, a tribute of respect to her. Prof. Wilson Woodmansee is our registrar and professor of mathemat- ics. He did not pose for this picture, but as he appears here, is the way we rind him when we seek his advice in registration troubles. As for mathe- matics, he believes a person should work, and strange to say they alwa s do. His cordial attitude toward the students has won for him the good will of everv member of the student body. In the capacity of college librarian, every student testifies to Miss Josephine Ruth Hargrave ' s efficiency and never- ceasing effort to be of service to the student body. Miss Olive Smith has recently re- tired from the position of associate professor of German and preceptress of Bartlett Hall. We miss Miss Smith and cordially wish her every success in her new field of work.

Our professor of economic? and so- ciology has the good will of all the student body. Outside of Professor August Fehlandt ' s busy round of col- ege activities he has found time to figure largely in the interest of a pro- hibitum campaign in this city. We consider oursel es very fortu- nate in having Mr. Henry Phillips Boody as professor of English compo- sition and public speaking. Although a new member of the faculty, Profes- sor Boody has long since proved him- self an indispensable factor in our col- lege life. Miss Hester M. Cunningham, our rofessor of Romance languages, petite et charmante, is never seen without a smile.
