THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 3 “ Servant of God, well done.” J. T. Bowne, M. H. One of the first men in this country to teach Y. M. C. A. methods and history was J. T. Bowne, and many a Secretary now in the field received his first inspiration to serve in the Association from this venerable member of the faculty. Mr. Bowne has served the Association long and well, and continues to fill an important position at the School. As Lil:irarian, he has the two-fold duty of kec]jing men out of the reading room during the chajjel exercises and of trying to secure a new library building. In Ijoth these lines of endeavor he has been but par- tially successful. But to any one desiring an inter- esting evening’s entertainment no more suitable l)lace can be found than Mr. Bowne’s relic room on Northampton Avenue. V-y-y-yoH m-ni-must not t-touch the fire- extinguishers.”

THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 2 L. L. Doggett, Ph. D. He comes smilingly lieforc the Senior class in reli ious education with a “Tiood mornin’, scholars” which i)roni])ts the echo, from the scholars, ‘‘Mornin’, teacher.” and then the Doctor lakes up his daily task of trying to find some way of inducing the Senior class to write a ] aper or read the lesson. Rumor has it that he did at one time succeed in securing a ]iapcr from a Senior but the author of such a rei ort has never been discovered. Aside from his attempts to entraj) the Seniors in some kind of study, the working of other ijcojile is his favorite ])astime. There is no rumor about the success in this second line of endeavor; facts jioint to great achievement. However, the students have learned to love their Pre.sident because he docs not have the habit of “butting” in on student affairs. “S))iile and the world sjiiiles U ' ith you, Cry ami you cry alone.” “ That rcniinds nc — ”

THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 4 F. N. Seerley, BPh., M.D., M.H. Doctor Sccrlcy is the owner of “Brownie” and the Dean of the Institution. Other duties are his also i)ut these two command the greater j)ortion of his time. “Brownie” since the di.scovcry of the murmur in his lacart is not expected to see many more winters, a fact which troubles the Doctor. Then again as Dean he is more than disturbed by the “condi- tioiied” men who arc continually trying to work ofT the conditions or to work the Doctor. However, this haiJ])y-dispositioncd member of the teaching force spends his leisure moments in cracking jokes out of Noah’s joke book before the classes in j)sy- chology and histology. Otherwise there are many good things to say about the Dean. “Where’s ’Brownie ' ?’’ “Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o’ nights,’’
