arity with the subject gives his lectures the stamp of authority. Perhaps most important of all is the fact that, although his explanations are clear and elucidating, yet, if students fail to comprehend a subject at once, he is willing to go over the matter, throwing new light on the perplexing question until the pupil can not fail to understand it. But Professor Gutnmere appears at an advantage, not only in the classroom, but also in the social life of the college. Always kind and courteous, he mingles freely with the students and gives advice and encouragement alike. In this matter he has been ably seconded by his wife, {net' Miss Lydia Craft Flagg, of Swarthmore,) to whom lie was married in December. 1899 Mr. and Mrs Gum-mere are charming hosts. As a musician, Mr. Gummerc has taken part in the musical organizations, and as an amateur photographer he lias been an enthusiastic member of the Camera Club, and has been the means of perpetuating many a transient scene about the place. It is due to his kindness that This Rt nv has been able to .set before its readers several of the views contained herein. As a scientist he was largely instrumental in organizing the Audubon Science Club, formerly the Mathematical-Physical Club,) and has since been one of its strongest adherents. Moreover, he has been one of the staunchest supporters of athletics at the institution, having served as chairman of the Athletic Committee. Truly a man of such refinement and courtesy, a professor of so great breadth of culture and such depth of knowledge in his specialized subjects, an instructor of so much ability and patience, such a generous and true friend to every student, a mail who does all in his power for the general interests of the institution, such a man must win, as Professor Gum mere has won, the respect and confidence of all who conic in contact with him or his work. 9
