MR. RAYMOND B. MUNSON Would you ever imagine this fond parent to be an historical shark”? Well, he is none other than that, and we are proud to announce him as our professor in 1 listory and head of the 1 listorical-Political Group. Aside from his parental duty to Baby Toots.” Prof. Munson strives to lead us through all the bewildering intricacies of world affairs, and the size of all his classes is a good index of the success which he has attained. Ask of any one his opinion of the history courses which he has taken, and. whether he be Senior or Freshman, he will immediately wax eloquent on the merits of those particular courses. Prof. Munson is one of our favorites, and when he tells us to turn to the situation in France. we eagerly respond, for we know from experience the great wealth of information which will soon be in our possession. c is the mildest-mannered man. DR. WILLIAM W. JORDAN Although new to the College last year. Dr. Jordan has well earned his right to be called an Ursinusite.” His duties require that he spend only two days a week on the campus, yet he is full of enthusiasm for the College and takes a lively interest in every phase of student activity. His knowledge of Fnglish Bible is profound and his characteristic open-mindedness makes discussion of religious problems in his class a real help to vital religious thought. As a man. he is respected for his qualities of integrity, uprightness and kindness. Let as thinly lfSS °f men ani more of Cod.

REV. DR. JAMES I GOOD His name characterizes him well. Whoever has been in his class in Missions or Church History, knows that he is always a good sport. No member of the Brotherhood of Saint Paul will say otherwise, since his annual banquet to that group is one of the best enjoyed events of the year. Dr. Good has made his annual trip to Europe in the interest of the Reformed Church, for the nth time, and we expect he will make it many more times. What is true of his life at Ursinus. applies generally as well. He is a most unselfish, philanthropic bachelor, for whom we have only the greatest of respect. By their fruits ye shall know them. REV. CALVIN D. YOST When we were still green. Professor Yost gave us our first glimpse into the sublime realms of English literature. But. since then his activities have broadened out into other spheres. When we visit Ursinus. a year or so from now. we expect to find him at the chief's desk in the new Memorial Library Building. We ho| c that then, under the more favorable conditions, there will be no need for him to tell some one where to take advantage of his social opportunities. A better librarian and Deutches Ichrcr could not be found anywhere. Those who have heard him preach, know his fine ability as a sky-pilot. A wise man is necer less alone than when alone.

MR. PAUL A. MERTZ Just as every important sign on the bulletin board bears the initials P. A. M.. so almost every important phase of college life bears the imprint of Prof. Mertz. Of his extra-curricular duties probably the two biggest enterprises carrier! on by this efficient member of the Ursinus family arc his work as Graduate Manager of Athletics and his Student-grabbing- tours. Every one here, whose presence at the dearest college is due to Mr. Mertz. raise your left hand! Ah. we thought as much. A large majority! Then. too. our supply store owes its existence to his untiring efforts —yes. he's chief clerk there, too and because of his work as professor of Education. In this latter capacity he is quite well liked and. judging by the many successful teachers who have gone into the world after receiving his high quality instruction, he is an A No. 1 prof. Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him. DR. HOMER SMI TH Members of the English-Historical Group will say that Dr. Smith's talks, whether of literature or of some phase of his own traveling experience, provide one of the most enjoyable features of Group meeting programs. His knowledge of English literature is equalled by his ability to present the subject in an intensely interesting manner, so that his lectures are both instructive and entertaining. He is an authority on Anglo-Saxon as well, and his knowledge of the King-s English and its beginnings, mark him as a genuine scholar. He things as a sage, but feels as a man.
