Harry W. Mantz, Ph.G., B.S. Associate Professor of Pharmacy (7 HE youngest member of the Senior Faculty made up in knowledge what he lacked in years. His efforts were directed in teaching us pharmacy, mathematics, and “showing us how” in the pharmacy laboratory. Having established himself as a member of the Faculty, the day is not far distant when Dr. Mantz will be one of the “greats” of our school. His keen sense of humor made him a most congenial man to work for, and never a dull moment was experienced in his presence. His democratic associations with the students made Dr. Mantz a popular professor. His popularity was further increased by his willingness tohelp any one who sought his aid. We are going to miss him, and are saying good-bye with a lump in our throats. M 16

J. Howard Graham, B.S., M.A. Professor of Physics and Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry TT WAS Dr. Graham who had die difficult task of converting crude high school graduates A into men of laboratory excellence. Under his exacting methods, we developed rapidly. 11 is said, A good beginning is half the business,” and it was no wonder that we kept up the good work for the remainder of our school days. Many students found that by far the most interesting and informative course was the one in Organic Chemistry Laboratory, directed by Dr. Graham. Aside from the subject under consideration, his side remarks interspersed greatly enlivened our work with him. Besides being recognized as an authority in his profession. Dr. Graham had the greatest background of industrial experience among the faculty. Being the possessor of these characteristics, he was well able to help those who required assistance, and we all know how we all needed it. ( 15 b

Frank H. Eby, Phar.D. Professor of Botany and Pharmacognosy I7OR a thorough training in any one subject, there are fewer men more capable of imparting such training than our own Dr. Eby. His lectures, though they seemed full of pharmaceutical technicalities, were composed of the essence of the subject. Each ot his sentences bore the gist of his ideas. It is no wonder that the students were able to rattle off botanical origins, descriptions, constituents, and other information, thanks to an untiring and conscientious teacher. If it were another man teaching his subjects, we might have become bored on numerous occasions, but Dr. Eby’s magnetic personality, friendliness, and his unusual ability made his lectures a source of pleasure. In this way we learned so much of his subjects, that we often wonder if we could not teach them ourselves, which fact is a high tribute to the teaching ability of any man. Dr. Eby is still a young man, but is old in school activities. After Dr. Minehart died, Dr. Eby served us as acting dean, and directed the school until the appointment of our present dean. Dr. Kendig. Dr. Eby is a speaker of note, and is much sought after as such. -4 17 ]
