THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL CARROLL FALCONER ARMISTEAD, A. B., Commandant Nearly every student in the Univers¬ ity has had occasion to visit the Captain’s office and all receive a warm reception. If you want to make a hit with the Captain, avoid all military formalities, walk up to him, slap him on the shoulder and say: “Say, look ' ee here. Old Pal,” and results will not he long forthcoming. The Captain is a lion among the ladies and a pet among the “Preps.” BOLLING JAMES DUNN, M. A., Associate Professor of Mathematics “Pappy,” as he is generally known, looks like the villain in a ten cent show, and if many of us did not know him, we would become frightened at the first glance. But “Pappy” is easy in Math. 1, and as he gives out problems in class he amuses himself by wrapping one leg around the other. It is rumored that he will give an exhibition sometime in the near future, in order to raise money for the Athletic Association. ANTONIO MARINONI, A. M., Professor of Romance Languages Tie is married now. “Nuff sed.” EDGAR FINLEY SHANNON, A. B., Professor of English I ' he Prof., like most English Profs., has slang for a hobby. Me is, with many f»f Ins pupils, the ideal Prof, of the University. He seldom looks at a text n° i and never refers to it in class. Vq , s lately become distinguished as a Maud patter against giving credit to any collegiate debaters.” While dis¬ cussing this subject in a faculty meet¬ ing, he uttered this time honored and eloquent expression: “Never, never as long as the stars and moon shall sh’ne, will i yield one io a to th s request of a diabolical student.” CHARLES CREIGER CARROLL A. M., Ph. D., Professor of Chemistry Me has had the responsibility of the Glee Club thrust upon him, but with his musical turn he will be able to acquit himself creditably. Tennis, though, is nis long suit. Me talks, hears, thinks, sees, smells, and tastes love games and didn’t get a hit in the last year’s Senior- Kacultv base ball game. Page L 5 F A C U L T Y

U-( THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL Page H c u L T Y FRANK WELBORN PICKEL, A. B., M. Sc., Professor of Biology The thing for which lie is most noted is not the way in which he springs such big words in the Biology class, but more the evident anger with which he greets any jovial appreciation of them. “Grasshoppers belong to the order Orth- optera” (I do not see anything funny about this). “It is of the familv Acrididae.” (There is time to laugh and not to laugh). “It is of the genus Rhomoleum.” (This is one of the times you had better not laugh.”) WILLIAM SMITH JOHNSON, Ph. D. Professor of Philos phy and Pedagogy To roast the Doctor is like taking candy from a baby. He has seen more of the world and heard more lies, per¬ haps, than any other member of the faculty. He has a peculiar way of say¬ ing: “Yes, let me see, that is what the book says. Me, for instance, and while in Yale, I was a classmate of the author of this book, etc., ad ridiculosum.” JOHN HUGH REYNOLDS, A. M. Professor of History and Politi cal Science This Prof, is “under indictment for ignorance,” and if he is convicted he wib be put “under the ground” where he will surely sprout ana increase the crop of Ps an hundred fold. He is the object of a great deal of affection on the part of new students from accredited schools, and especially when the” are lacking in some required work. BURTON NEILL WILSON, B. Sc., M. E.. Professor of Mechanical Engineering Wilson is one of the sharks. It is doubtful whether he will make it through this year on mechanics, or not. But from the way he has succeeded in skinning the Boys’ Dormitory on the heat prop¬ osition, it seems likely he ought to go through, with drums beating and colors hying. CHARLES HILLMAN BROUGH, A. M, LL. B, Ph. D., Professor of Economics and Sociology “Gentlemen, we have a continuation of the tariff. Mr. George, can you explain what is meant by the maximum and minimum tariffs? or, in other words, you are quite sure, are you not, that there is a tariff on steel rails and pulp?” George: “Yes. Dr.” Dr. Brough: “Mr. Grubbs (and by the way, Mr. George has very ably dis¬ cussed this subject), don’t you think that trust-made articles should be placed on tne free lists?” To make a hit with the Dr., pay close attention to the arrangement of his question, and the tone of his voice, and ao not let your own opinion influence your answer.

c n THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL CHARLES FREDERIC ADAMS. B. Agr., A. M., M. D., Dean of the College of Agriculture Nature evidently intended him to be a bright and shining light for some mis- guiaed community, but his environments made him a buggist. He seems to take delight in slaying these harmless “crit¬ ters.” He is a lion in his element (among the bugs), but when it comes to “masticating the muslin” he gets sea¬ sick, consequently he is hopelessly stuck in the habits of a buggish old bachelor. ERNEST WALKER, B. S. A., Professor of Horticulture This Prof, is especially noted by the delicious flavor of the apples he raises, lie succeeded in buttin’ his way into Who’s Who, and since then has content¬ ed himself with the strenuous life of a college Prof. He has one of the hardest courses in school, and unless you wish to do some cramming, avoid his depart¬ ment. “Why,” he says, “there is no comparison between my course and the engineering courses.” The poor, deluded fellow is full of prunes. RUFUS J. NELSON, M. S., Professor of Agriculture Were it not for Rufus what would become of the farming interests in Ar¬ kansas? But didn’t he vote for college credit on inter-collegiate debates at that great, autocratic convention? That is enough to give him a passport into our good graces. He is at present engaged in perfecting a scheme whereby he can raise potatoes successfully in dry weath¬ er by planting onions among them. The onions, he thinks, will make the eyes of the potatoes water and thus furnish moisture enough to weather the drought. VICTOR ALBERT HOOPER, Professor of Dairy Husbandry How this Prof, succeeded in buttin’ his way into the faculty, has always been a mystery to many of us. He is noted principally for his grand style of riding. In his wide and varied experience, he has probably milked more cows than any other member of the faculty. ROBERT ROBSON DINWTDDTE M. D, V. S., Professor of Veterinary Science We have this Prof, at our mercy. He has promised us the cigars if we will only not roast him. So when the Car¬ dinal comes out we shall pass gently bv the Experiment Station lest we disturb any of the dark shadows that hover about his department.
