H '11 l Y MRS. Aucia MCCLURE, Instructor in Bible In Mrs. McClure we have exemplified the per- son spoken of in the line: Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to manf, A keen, discriminating mind, a frank, sunny dis- position, combined with quick wit and ready sym- pathy, make Mrs. Mc- Clure an inimitable teacher and friend. . QMSYEROQ ff? t 9' 2 s '75 JI Rr' 4711 ' QS ' 'LMUW Miss C. F. MACLAGGAN, AB., Instructor in French Fortunate was the day for Westminster when Miss Macl..aggan was added to the faculty of its modern language depart- ment. l-ler charming per- sonality and her thorough- ness of work have been an inspiration to students in her subjects ever since. Travel has made her an exceedingly inter- esting teacher. She has that very desirable char- acteristic of a successful teacher, the ability to enter into the pleasures of col- lege life, and for this reason is welcomed in all gatherings of the students. Miss M. E, Mirci-IELL, AB., Librarian A little bundle of in- tense personality, possess- ing a broad knowledge of books, and an extraordi- nary amount of patience with the frailties of stu- dent nature. Few, we believe, of our student body, know the real Miss Mitchell, who is, for the most part, veiled behind a very serious business-like air which only disappears in personal acquaintance aside from business hours. Miss.Mitchell is an ardent promoter of the suffrage movement.

V Y - W. W. TROUP, A.M., R. M. SMITH, PH.D., MRS. R. M. SMITH, Professor of German From the time he pre- sided at our first class meeting until the present day, Prof. Troup. has proved a benison to the class whose chapel ab- sence he records. In the class-room his store of in- formation is invaluable, and his stock of jokes laughable. If you wish to keep in his good graces you have only to get what the book says and then proceed, Professor of English Dr. Smith is conceded by all to be the intellec- tualist of the school. He has a wonderful faculty for seeing all sides of a subject and an ability for presenting all phases clear- ly. These facts make him not only an ideal teacher. but make his courses im- mensely popular with those who desire to culti- vate original thinking, which is, after all, the only real education. A.M., Instructor in English Undoubtedly M r s. Smith is one of our most popular faculty members. She possesses that serene dignity woven with that beautiful womanly grace which we all envy. To the Freshman girls she is the ideal teacherg to the Sophomores she is confi- dant and companion, to the Juniors and Seniors she appeals in the role of chaperon. But to Mrs. Smith, we the class of 'l7 wish luck, love, health, wealth, and happi- ness. 30

'11 :yt . ,, ,, E, v CHAS. FREEMAN, PHD., B. W. BRIDGMAN, A.M., Dean and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Freeman has not only a thorough knowl- edge of his subject but has what is quite as im- portant, an unusual ability for making the most diffi- cult problems of chemis- try wonderfully clear and plain. His impartiality and interest in the welfare of each student, together with his ability to under- stand and appreciate the students' point of view, make him a general favor- ite among the students. Professor of Physics If activity be indicative of doing, the works of man must be truly great. As official Chancellor of the Exchequer, he appre- ciates value and so lives out the ancient maxim, Silence is goldenf' No slave to pedantic pride, he finds time for many things as athletics and politics. He even emulates the horny-handed son of toil and cultivates the soil. To be doing is his pleas- ure. OWEN W. MILLS, A.M., Professor of Biology and Geology The prime business of Prof. Mills is to teach Biology, which duty he discharges faithfully and well. His aim is to teach his subject for the sake of making a better West- minster and a better civ- ilization, as well as for imparting knowledge. His straight forward and di- rect manner and method of teaching has won the hearts of the students, so that his elective classes have become the largest in the school. Q 32
