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.

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 FACULTY JOHN CLINTON FUTRALL, M. A., Professor of Ancient Languages “Seldom smiles, and smiles in such a way. As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit.” “Jack” runs a “cinch” course, and if you are looking for something easy we would advise you to see him at once and “avoid the rush.” GEORGE WESLEY DROKE, A. M., Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy When anyone wants to wring a few more dollars out of the student body for athletics or any old thing, they have only to go to “Daddy” and ask him to spring a few jokes in Chapel, or at a foot ball rally. In fact, “Daddy” is coming to have quite a reputation as the athletic association’s pickpocket. JULIUS JAMES KNOCK. M. S„ C. E, Professor of Civil Engineering We have heard no kicks against this sawed off Prof., consequently if is rather a difficult proposition to roast him. From his looks and name, you would think that he was related to the great Julius Cajsar, but there is nothing to it: Caesar swam the Rubicon, but this Prof, would bridge it. WILLIAM NATHAN GLADSON, M. S., E. E., Ph. D„ Professor of Electrical Engineering “Dutchy” spends his vacations sell¬ ing lightning rods. It is estimated that he saved Arkansas at least ten million dollars in the last two years. He is at present perfecting a scheme by which the lightning, given out by the lightning bugs, can be utilized. Let the good work go on. “There are a lot of people worse than “Dutchy.” ALBERT HOMER PURDUE, A. B.. Professor of Geology and Mining Some teachers merit so much that they are extremely exacting of their pupils, “true, true” they can ask “thought” questions that will keep you from “talk¬ ing in a circle,” and make an easy les¬ son hard by “hurriedly” injecting their “Proceed, proceed.” But if you wish to have it easy this year, select your major in that field, where indifference excuses you from exams, and the Senior gets full consideration (in the form of an exam) for a daily grade of G.
