EVA BROWNING Captain of quiet, Miss Browning bolds her com- pany of students under the discipline of a scholarly attitude. Always ready to help, always willing to forgive, she maintains tl e friendship of all, while with a lovable dignity, she preserves the power of her captaincy. Library HAT the Weber stu- dents might have the great- est facility in research material, an extensive library has been collected and maintained. The reading room is large, airy, well- lighted and conducive to quiet study. Reference books are easily available. The main checking room is sup- plied with numerous books on all subjects for which students call. They are correctly catalogued, label- ed, and arranged so that material is always at hand. Secondary to this room is the fiction division, where students of literature find their chosen books with little difficulty. It is through the untiring efforts of Eva Browning, librarian, that the Weber Library has become a Mecca for students needing ready reference, detailed treatises, or the finest liter- ary masterpieces. HE scene, in a few weeks changes. A strong north wind has stripped the trees of their brilliant leaves. Forlorn they stand waiting for the snow that will hide their branches. The flowers droop frost-bitten; the grass crunches under-foot, and the frozen dew drops are pressed into unyield- ing ground. Page IS

MERLON L. STEVENSON With a character found- ed on a firm belief in sportsmanship and fair play. Merlon Stevenson imparts to all those who know him a desire to live up to the ideals which are an integral part of his own creed. Through his ex- ample students have adopt- ed a finer, more worth- while perception of life. HE Indian summer falls upon the world like a misty veil brightened with gorgeous red and orange color. As the breeze gently sways the branches, leaves flutter away and fall upon the lawn, making a carpet of ever-changing patterns. Sprays of cool water leap in the sunshine, making prism colors, and fall gently upon the grass. cJYtathematics and Engineering |UR department of Mathemat- ics and Engineering prepares those who are its worthy followers for a definite place in the affairs of the world. Through clear, concise explanations and original treatment of proof the students of mathematics find it easy to grasp not only theorematic conclusions, but the reasons for such conclusions; and therefore they possess a key to greater possibilities in their chosen field. After having acquired a firm foundation in mathematics, the engineering students are taught the practical application of scientific knowledge, the use of intricate instruments; in fact, all those pre- liminaries which are a necessity to more advanced work.

A. RUSSELL CROFT Mr. Croft is a good sport with a keen sense of humor. His standards require diligence and ex- actness. He points out to students that upon them rests responsibility in the solution of problems; that upon their self-reliance depends their individual accomplishment. ciBiological Science ITALLY interested in the organic matter of the uni- verse, the department of Biological Science has delved into the problems of zoology, genetics, general botany, and taxonomy. Re- search in these fields has been re- warded by general knowledge and desire for a more intensive study. Courses in general and advanced zoology, given during the first two quarters of the year, proved valu- able to students specializing in medicine or advanced sciences. Gen- etics, given the spring quarter, brought before the students some of the vital problems of life. Classes in general botany, given through- out the year, took up the evolution of higher plants from microscopic beginnings. Taxonomy was offered the spring quarter. Study in this field has revealed more intelligent understanding of the floral loveli- ness of the Rockies. Specimens pre- pared by the students have been add- ed to the herbarium, which is being steadily enlarged. HERE is beauty in the bit- terest days of the fall season. Trees sharply outlined against the gray sky tower in the revealed strength of their naked forms. Their beauty is cold, a marked contrast to the beauty within doors, a beauty that inspires companionship and the joys of camaraderie. The College Inn beck- ons students for a moment of warmth and cheer. The Gymnasium with its lingering log-fire and its deep leather chairs in the lobby, offsets the severity of the biting weather. Student life is within the building; no one hears the rustling protests of the fallen leaves or the ceaseless patter of the November rain. Page 16
