THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL Mrs. WILLIE VANDEVENTER CROCKETT, Elocution Her favorite expression is: “Small people should be seen and not heard.” We will forbear to roast her. WILLIAM ALLEN RAMSEY, B. S., Principal of the Preparatory Department He is practically dictator of “Prep- dom,” and his word is law in that de¬ partment. His countenance is rather cross-grained and weather beaten, due partly to his nature and partly to his habitation among the “Preps.” But he means no harm by his looks. By his famous lecture on Ben Franklin last year, he made himself a great divine among his tribesmen. ARTHUR McCRACKEN HARDING, B. A., Associate Professor of Mathematics This little man is such a good Math, teacher that it would be a sin to roast him. DAVID YANCEY THOMAS, Ph. D, Associate Professor of History and Politi¬ cal Science “A mighty man is he, with strong and sinewy hands, Am. the muscles of his brawny arms are strong as iron bands.” He is frequently mistaken by the stu¬ dents for the Commandant. He is the very impersonation of energy, thrift, and enthusiasm. lie seldom, if ever, looks into a book. “It seems to me,” he often repeats, “that Burgess takes the right view of this when he says, ‘It would he better if some of you in the back part of the room would lower your pedal ex¬ tremities.’ ” GARLAND GREEVER, M. A., Associate Professor of English Prof. Greever calls examination week a week of holidays. By making known this opinion pf examinations, he has given room for quite a deal of specu¬ lation, as to where he went to college. The Prof, is exceedingly fond of jokes. Page 11 F A C u L T Y

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.

THE NAUGHT-NINE CARDINAL ELIZABETH GALBRAITH, Art Unmarried. LEE SEDWICK OLNEY, B. E. E., Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering We haven’t any kick coming against this Prof, but he belongs to the E. E. bunch and therefore is not above sus¬ picion. He seldom visits the chapel and wheu he does he takes a back seat, and looks as wise as the best of ’em. It has been rumored that he was married Christmas. VIRGIL PROCTOR KNOTT, B. C. E., Associate Professor of Civil Engineering This young man is all right. lie may be a little kiddish, but time will wear that off. Like all civil engineers, he rath¬ er dotes on that department. lie cuts Chapel by the wholesale, and bids fair to get out on F. in C. E. 1. ALVIN ARTHUR STEEL, B. S. Associate Professor of Geology and Mining This Prof, has seen a great deal of the world, but has never rea.ized any practical benefits from his travels for lie spent all his time hunting worthless shells. He is one of the most knowing Profs, in the University. He is young yet and bids fair to make lrs mark if he will only quit his shell habit and ge, down to work. RIPLEY, B. S., M. S., Professor of Physics Some of the students say cutting things about this Prof. They even say he has caught the “dying habit” from some of his ancestors, and that he “ate an egg” which had been “laid perhaps centuries ago” (not kept on ice, either,) and lots of other things, too, of which we will not make mention as he is a new Prof, here and bids fair to add laurels to the U. of A. crown.
