 ulhr (Ipnttirr i 1 % ELEANOR SHELDON A. B.. A. M. University of Minnesota Bryn Mawr College Miss Sheldon unconsciously evinces her liberality in offering, besides the required literary course, a fine model of a conversationalist. 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. MARGARET STAFFORD Notwithstanding Miss Stafford’s recent advent, she occupies a unique place in the school—not as a composition teacher. but as a “cheer-giver.” To pass Miss Stafford on a rainy morning makes one’s own sun to come out from under a cloud. ALFRED J. ROEHM A. M. University of Indiana Ph. I). University of Chicago Herr Professor Rochm. iinscr Dent-scher Lchrcr. is one of the most versatile as well as the most popular members of the faculty. Besides his classes, he has much interest in athletics and musical activities. HOWARD C. SMITH A. B.. A. M. University of Indiana Alfred J. Roehm Mr. Smith’s student days are so of the recent past that he still has the student point of view. His solution of a difficulty is that of a comrade.

QJl|p (jpuiurr LIFE may unacquaint us with higher mathematics, and history associate itself only with the commercial world; but. the time will never come when we shall not find a part of life’s pleasures in literature, whether it be our own or that of other nations. 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. University of California O would that we always had grammar teachers like Miss Bagley! But. then we should have had no need of her practical psychology and pedagogy now. Who could, therefore, wish it? PaK H

GJhr (j uiupr HISCORY History and Political Science In order that we may understand the forces that have been at work in the development of the nation of today, we must study history and political science. This work is in the hands of four persons. L. W. Briggs L. W. BRIGGS Mr. Lydon W. Briggs, is our treasurer as well as instructor in civics and school law. The esteem in which this genial gentleman is held, is best revealed by the number of callers standing at his office door waiting their turn to seek his advice. FREDERICK R. CLOW A. B. Carleton College Ph. D. Harvard Mr. Frederick R. Clow, instructor in history and in sociology, is one of the few who can sit down and think out a thing for himself without talking the subject over with everyone in talking distance. He not only thinks to the bottom for himself, but he has a way of inspiring a student to probe to the depths too. Frederick R. Clow WALTER C. HEWITT B. Pd.. M. Pd. Michigan Normal College The cheery atmosphere of Mr. Hewitt’s classroom is a sure cure for the blues. To be genial is a canon in his theory of life. What better way of driv-. ing a truth home than the telling of a clever story? ALEIDA J. PIETERS A. B. University of Michigan Miss Aleida J. Pieters in her class recitations in history is able to show the broad truths back of mere facts. The regard which the student body has for her is well expressed in these words. By her right thinking, right speaking, and right living, she has instilled in us a deeper desire to know the truth, to love the truth, and to live the truth.” Page tS Walter C. Hewitt Aleida J.
