T. E. WOODWARD, B. S., Instructor in Dairying. T. E. Woodward early formed the acquaintance of bugs and bacteria, having had a whole list of baby diseases resulting from bee stings and ant bites Being thus afflicted and abused, he forthwith began to prepare himself to execute eternal vengeance on his early enemies. T. E. entered the High School of Wichita, Kansas, but his spirit was so ambitious that he was soon packed away to the University of Mo. at Columbia. Here he delved into the mysteries of streptococcus and bacillus Coli Communis. After he had completed the regular number of subjects and late suppers, he was given a B. S. The school bade him a tearful good-bye. Being, however, of a hopeful disposition, he smiled upon his friends and departed. He was next found in Washington, 1). C.. trying to make curd out of water, but not being successful decided to “cheese it” and come to Logan. At the A. C. he was extremely happy to find a class of revengeful students anxiously waiting for a courageous leader to direct their attack against the vicious bacteria and he immediately began a systematic campaign. For results see College Bulletins. CHARLES WALTER PORTER, B. S., Instructor in Chemistry. In Porterville, Morgan Co., was born Chas. W. Porter, destined, many thought, to be one of our future educators. From infancy he desired to learn, and became a student at the Agricultural College in 1896. In June, '05, after working his way through school, he took out his B. S. Mr. Porter was an instructor in Chemistry in the U. A. C. from 1905 to 1907. He then received a leave of absence and entered the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard. We need not tell of his capacity for work for all recognize him as one of the ablest students leaving the halls of the A. C. U. Past files of Student Life show his activity in debat ing and general student affairs. He was chosen President of the Alumni in 1906. It is reported that he will be unable to slip away from Harvard next June without carrying with him a M. A. JONATHAN SOCKWELL POWELL, Instructor in Art. A few years ago a lad was born in Payspn, Utah, whom we have ’earned to know as Jonathan Powell. After graduation, feeling large—in body—he attended the B. V. Academy for a short time. Adapted for football, and ambitious to become slender, he appeared ever upon the field, even though he was frequently taken for the ball. Powell attended school at the A. C. three years, later going to the Chicago Art Institute. From 1905 to 1908 he served as instructor in Art at the U. A. C., receiving a leave of absence at the end of that time to take up the study of Art in Europe. 30

ALMA DAVIS, Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting. Mr. Davis smacks’' of the new for this is his first year at the U. A. C. We believe, however, that Alma will always be new, always be young, always have his boy’s face. Mr. Davis is well prepared for his vocation. Not only has he graduated from the Arizona Normal school and the Phoenix Business College. but he has also made his theories practical by an active participation in the affairs of life, lie has “roughed it; for a young man, his experience is varied. Somebody has said of someone that he goes about his work like a great boy at play. That's Davis. RHODA BOWEN COOK, Assistant Professor of Domestic Arts. Mrs. Rhoda Cook was born in Providence, where she received her public school training. Later she attended the New Jersey Academy at Logan, the Oswego State Normal, and the University of Chicago. Mrs. Cook is one of Utah's most genial women, one who is loved not only by her immediate pupils, but also by the student body in general. The College has received her undivided labors for eight years, during which time she has done much for its development. HARRY PARKER, S, B., Professor of Geology and Assaying. Harry Parker, the geology man, has had a rather remarkable life, which may be divided perhaps into four important epochs: 1st. His famous football career while a student in the U. A. C. 2nd. Ilis period of serious contemplation at Harvard, for which he received as a reward an S. B. in Mining and Mineralogy with the 1904 class, , rd. His period of practical demonstration in which he proved his ability as an expert mining engineer. 4th. The period of accomplishment which commenced when he signed up as tackle with the All Stars, last fall, in their J annual game against the Aggies. Since then, he has been literally transplanted to the U. A. C., where he may be found testifying to the wonder of mother earth, or nourishing his fledgeling, the newly organized Scientific Geological Society. 29

JOSEPH EAMES GREAVES, M. S., Assistant Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. Joseph Eames Greaves, or Joe as he is fam' iliarly called, received his elementary schoo training in Preston In 1904. he took out a B S. at the U. A. C Mr. Greaves now became Assistant Chemist at the College, after which he entered the University of Chicago, receiving his M. S. the following year. Professor Greaves’ father was unable to keep him from the fairer sex exclusively, and he is now a married man. He has yet a good head of hair. It is sometimes the sincere conviction of his Organic Chemistry students, when their eyes begin to quiver over some of those four-page formulas, that his wife ought to pull out just a few of his locks. If she should, we venture that a formula would be clinging to the root of each hair. CHARLOTTE KYLE, B. A. M. A., Instructor in English and History. The Fates decided that Miss Kyle should devote her life to letters because of her fondness as a child for the alphabet. Thus it happened that she entered Park College, Parkville, Mo., and graduated from the Academic course. About this time we imagine she was much besieged by country rustics and town sports. She evaded them successfully, however, and completed another four-years’ course in her favorite college, receiving her B. A. We are unable to account for her remaining two years longer at the same place, doing post graduate work. Be that as it may. she received an M. A. and we venture -a proposal. The poor fellow must be lonely now for she heard the west a callin' ” and came out to Logan. Miss Kyle, like Napoleon, might be called the little corporal. She is like Napoleon, further, in that she is a conqueror. How could she help but be with her snappy eyes and genial smile ? “She smiles on all she looks at And her looks go everywhere. JOHN L. COBURN, B. S., Financial Secretary. John L. Coburn, or Jack, as some of the more officious of our number dare address this august personage, is the financial secretary of the College. Jack, after four years of hard grinding in Commerce, on the gridiron,” received his B. S. from this institution. He is an A 1 secretary were it not for the fact that recently he gets the eternal question mark mixed with his figures. 31
