The height of sartorial elegance, one genera- tion removed from a Spanish hacienda — a snub- nosed scotch terrier and a beautiful wife his most cherished possessions Ricardo Quintana, Eng- lish professor and profound student of Milton, has built up a legend around his way of dismiss- ing class for no reason at all. A medic student, by the time he has rolled the last pill and carved the last cadaver, is a taciturn sort of cuss at best. Still, if there ' s one man who can bring a .smile to that wearied face, It ' s Walter E. Sullivan, Professor of Anatomy. Combining genuine erudition with thoroughly human qualities, he is one of the men that Wis- consin M. D. ' s won ' t soon forget. Youthful and jovial dispenser of medieval his- tory. Prof. Robert Reynolds of the history de- partment, makes the dryest of courses sparkle with life. His knowledge of French, Latin, Greek and old English, combined with an inextinguish- able enthusiasm for research, forecasts a future that his colleagues predict cannot be anything short of brilliant. Ray Dvorak, the man with the big smile and the long baton, will take his place in Wi.sconsin history as The Man Who Taught the Band to Play Jazz. Shocking a few, but pleasing the great majority, Dvorak has put himself over as few men have in their first year at Wisconsin. His IS the unique position of leader in the rebirth of student patriotism. Page J 5

Faculty An Informal Pictorial Presentation Edwin B. Fred, Dean of the Graduate School, is one of those amusing persons who has no idea when to stop working. He is interested in every- thing and keeps a charming personality m spite of his strenuous program. He is one of the few individuals who has not neglected the art of conversation. Students who see in the New Deal a chance for employment in the government service would do well to listen to John M. Gaus, Professor of Political Science. An alert student of the prob- lems of administration, he is probably the man best informed m the personnel problems of the government machine. Besides, he has been secre- tary of Governor Philip F. LaFollette ' s Executive Council and is the author of several good books. Since Animal Biology is the most popular freshman laboratory course. Prof. Michael Guyer meets most of them personally or through his massive book. Teacher and lecturer by necessity, he IS a brilliant technician and scientist by inher- ent love. His far-reaching research in heredity and eugenics has won him worldwide renown. Still a staunch supporter of language attain- ment examinations for college students. Professor F. Daniel Cheydleur compromised with others of the French department on either exams or suf- ficient credits for a language certificate. But he would still like to see the modern foreign lan- guages take their place in the sun of collegiate edu- cation on the basis of knowledge rather than credit hours. Page 14

Professor of Mechanics since iSqj, Edward R. Maurer is one of the most widely known men on the faculty of the College of Engineering. Au- thor of several good texts, his reputation is based upon outstanding research m the field of me- chanics. Miss Ahby Marlatt does water colors. Aside from that her lite is filled with enough committee meetings, chairmanships, and national activities to keep her completely occupied, but she finds time to devote her full energies to the direction of the Home Economics Department. After obtaining his degree at Michigan and continuing his studies at Marburg and Heidel- burg. Professor Edwin B. Hart came to Wiscon- sin in iqo6 as Assistant Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. His work here has covered products of protein decomposition, chemistry of cheese ripening and other dairy c hemistry, some of which was carried on in conjunction with the late Dr. Babcock. The U. S. Army ' s representative on this cam- pus is Capt. Remington Orsinger, commandant of the R. O. T. C. Brisk, energetic, bright-eyed, he is a welcome guest at all prominent social af- fairs, for his brusque, abrupt military manner disappears completely when he enters the social arena. His chief asset is his ability to remain un- quoted in the Daily Cardinal, thus escaping criticism because of his presumed position as militaristic propagandist. Page 1 6
