Bauih iiamaeg Kerr, 1511.350 BE. Dr. Kerr came to the presidency of Westminster fin july 1904, after fifteen' years suc- cessful labor at Bellevue College, Nebraska. He has gained friends for VVestminster. His plan for securing adequate endowment and- educational power for the college has commended itself to the confidence of Westminster's friends. Though there have been no sweeping changes, the whole tone and machinery of the institution has been strengthened in accordance with the high ideals of Westminsterls history. Dr. Kerr is a friend and counselor to every student-which is often generously evi- denced by the greetings 'of the student body upon his return from a trip. His teaching of the Bible is thorough and inspiring, full of devotion and evangelism.

The study of mathematics is not only the acquisition of practical knowl- edge, but the training of the student's mind, which gives a distinct gain of mental power. In no department of education is a good foundation more important. Several departments of study are so interwoven with mathe- matics that progress is almost impos- sible unless the student has a good working knowledge of mathematics. Dr. Scott, our teacher of mathematics, is not excelled either as a mathemati- cian or as a teacher. His highest praise is that no young man can get through one of his classes without seeing it clean. Dr. Scott was graduated from VVestminster in 1865. Shortly after graduation he was called to the chair of mathematics in his Alma Mater. Here he has served for more than forty years. He has always maintained a high standard for his de- partment. We are proud of our ma- thematics department and its efficient teacher. 31111111 Elag Eine, AJJIH., IEEE. The proper study of mankind is man. Tovstudy man we must study the history of men-of men who have been leaders. Leaders of men have always been those who could interpret the inner motives of their fellows. The modern science of economics is but the interpretation of certain of these social motives, a new construc- tion of facts long known. In the study of history and economics, then, lies one of the sources of leadership. Dr. Rice has been a student and teacher of history and economics for forty years. He knows how to teach these subjects in a masterly way. He knows every weak point in a boy and has unusual skill in detecting tend- encies and in correcting them, while holding the good will of the boy. Dr. Rice is a graduate of New York University. Before coming to West- minster he practiced law in New York City. This especially fitted him for the work which he has done so well at Westminster for nearly forty years. yt., , 0 if gizxutffifggl :Du cmnrzngn 'Y' onto'
