THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL An orator next, of no mean note, And for him as a popular Prof, you should vote. Says lie: “Hitch your wagon to a star, And your progress you shall not mar.” Prof. Droke is gazing into the heaven To see if new stars have ariven. In astronomy he is well versed, And if you know not Math I. you ' re accursed. A Geologist now comes, and with his “Proceed, proceed, Leads his students o’er hill and mead. P AG E And the student who doesn ' t win, “True, true — Will the examination day rue. The big man, you say, is a foot hall player; But no, lie ' s the musician of the U. of A. Truly a wonderful musician is he, And of music much can he teach thee. “Forward, march.” Imperatively calls a oice, And the line moves forward, its only choice, Into the President ' s office it goes, Where a faculty meeting is proposed.

THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL No truer design of life can be Than this of our dear President, John T. For, always, when he says, “I u nderstand,” We see the glasses in his hand. Next comes a hag, of a color green, Many, many a time have we seen Under this hag a Prof., tall and slim, And all the students admire him. Page io F A C U L T Y Then here is the biologist. Dr. Picked. What does he carry ? Can you tell ? With this problem you may combat, But I will pronounce it a—tom cat. Dr. Carroll, the Chemist, now appears with a flask, What he intends to do, you may ask. Probably he will drink to the man who can menace His superiority at playing tennis. A philosopher, a human skull within his hands, Next in the row stands. Let him feel vour head, with look sublime, And he will tell your future, lie did mine.

Pag e 12 F A C U L T Y THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL APPRECIATION We have a faculty at the University of Arkansas of which we should justly be proud. It is composed of some of the most learned men of the Southwest. In looking over the list of our faculty, we find that seventeen have Master’s degrees from the most reputable Universities of the United States and Europe. Each member of the faculty seems to be peculiarly suited for his position. Every student knows that no one is better in Latin than Prof. Futrall; that Prof. Droke knows all about Mathematics; that Prof. Knoch is the only man to teach Civil En¬ gineering, and that no one knows such a mass of economic facts as Dr. Brough Many of the faculty have given practically all of the work of their lives to the University and to the youth of Arkansas. The members of the faculty are devoted to what they think is the interests of the University. Most of them have helped make the University of Arkansas what it is to-day, having been connected with her for many years. They have seen a rise in her enrollment from five hundred to nearly twelve hundred, and the number of buildings and conveniences increased many fold. Very often the student body takes the wrong position with reference to the faculty. They have a tendency to regard the faculty only as a symbol of author¬ ity and not as made up of teachers who have the interest of the students at heart. Although we as students may not be grateful enough at present to these men who are giving their lives for our good, yet in after life we will doubtless look back upon them as upon men whom we have patterned after and whose char¬ acters have been stamped on our characters.
