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

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

Professor Selig Perlmaii really doesn ' t look like this. But then Professor Perlman is very unlikely to be affected with what a yearbook picture does to his face. One of the most popular guest speak- ers the campus boasts, he has made economics popular and understandable. Originally a sociol- ogist, he has become an economist who surprises many with his anti-Ct)mmunist invective. Startling academic circles with his rediscovery of the ancient kingdom of Trebizond, Alexander Vasiliev, recipient of occasional royal decora- tions, IS one of the world ' s leading authorities on By:antine history. Eminent historian and ac- complished pianist, all those acquainted with this amiable scholar will miss him during his sojourn at Columbia. PH M ' ' 13) — j f | B ■ tmt smssssi 1 ■to ' H Leader of the followers of St. Pat through 3,5 stormy March Seventeenths, Frederick E. Turneaure probably has as little love for a shys- ter as any of his exuberant charges. But since responsibility for his charges actions is indirectly his, he has saved the lives of untold hundreds of lawyers. But — EnnGoBragh! Physics may be lUst ten credits of freshmen science to some, but to those who had it under the white-haired, stogie-smoking William F. Steve, It is a memory of a class no one could sleep through. To Professor Steve goes this year ' s title of Best Faculty Showman. Page 17
