LIFE GLIMPSES. ANDREWS, Albert Leroy, Phi Beta Kappa, though first in alphabetical order, was the last member of the class to make his appearance in the world. He was born in Williamstown, Mass., Dec. 27, 1878, and received his preliminary train- ing at the Williamstown High School. Through- out his course he has stood in the foremost rank of scholarship, and has been distinguished no less by the general excellence of his work than by the ability with which he has secured prizes. He won first prize in mathematics and second in Greek and in Latin Sophomore year, and besides has held an honor scholarship continuously since his entrance. He also received a Commencement appointment. Andrews's devotion to scholarship, however, has been varied by active participation in athletics, a11d on both the ,QQ baseball and foot- ball teams he has done effective work. I-le has also played on the second eleven. Andy's future pro- fession is teaching, and his address will continue to be XVilliamstown, Mass. ANSLEY, George Hanford, Phi Delta Theta, hails from Salamanca, N. Y., where he entered upon the responsibilities of mundane existence on Dec. 14, 1875. After the ordinary amusemcnts of childhood, he took his first plunge into the stream of learning at the local High School. He came to Williams with the rest ofthe class, and has since been diligently slaking his thirst for knowledge at the perennial fountains in Hopkins Hall. His thirst, however, we are glad to say, has confined itself to knowledge. Ansley has devoted himself closely to the curriculum, while his polished man- ners and gentlemanly deportment have made him a general success in what is known as Williams- town society. He is uncertain as to his future profession, but whatever it proves to be, we feel sure of his continued success. His address will continue to be Salamanca, N. Y. BAKER, Fred Reul, Phi Delta Theta, was born june 28, 1877, in Normal, Ill Space for- bids us to dwell upon his childhood and youth further than to say that he prepared for college at the Illinois State Normal University. Like so many other notable men, he entered Williams in the Gill of 1895, since then his career has been one of uninterrupted tranquility and success. He has conscientiously pursued the curriculum, giving special attention to the Natural Sciences. As his picture shows, he possesses a rare degree of taste ' , H cgrqxylg -2 ,tt-.dr '6 t- !'
