It is to the following teachers we owe our more extended appreciation of this subject. JOSEPHINE HENDERSON A. B., A. M. Alleghany College Miss Henderson is the embodiment of cultural efficiency. Before we finish the course in Rhetoric and Composition, we not only realize our deficiencies but feel we are greater than we know.” ELLEN F. P. PEAKE A. B. University of New Brunswick Miss Peake is too modest to consider herself more to the students than their teacher in literature; but her place is infinitely higher. She stands as a fine type of womanhood. Should all prospective teachers catch her vision of life, there would be no necessity for lessons in morals. RUTH G. BAGLEY A. B. University of Michigan A. M.

To say she is entertaining. would give her only half credit; to say she is instructive, would do the same. The two must be combined.

Besides his classes, he has much interest in athletics and musical activities. HOWARD C. SMITH A. B.. A. M. University of Indiana Alfred J.
