Great Teachers
and Their Work

uSltu III MS SlRnIlctN year,
DIR. Lyman Abbott, who was
graduated from New York Uni
versity in 1853, pays a tribute
to the little college that he at
tended in Washington Square.
1t had, to be sure, little college
life, a narrow curriculum, an
unimportapt library, no labora-
tory for the student, and there
were not over 200 young men
in its enrolment. But it had
great teachers, and he names
with warm gratitude Profes-
sors E. A. Johnson in Latin,
Elias Loonlis in Mathematics,
John w. Draper in Chemistry,
c. S. Henry in Philosophy, and
DR.. Howard Crosby in Greek.
What DR.. Abbott writes of the
personal debt of his intellectual
and spiritual life to these men
caused great American edu-
Gator, statesman and diplomat
of the same generation to ex-
claim after reading the chapter,
that he wished that his own col
lege days had been spent in the
same college.
New York University has never
possessed a material equipment
adequate for the work it has
undertaken, although that
equipment, of course, is vastly
greater now than in the days Of
which DR.. Abbott wrote. But
whenever the University has
had to decide between men and
buildings, between teachers and
equipment, it has voted to place
its strength in its Faculty.
At New York University we be-
lieve that the contact with the
strong, stimulating and sympa-
thetic personality of competent
instructors is the most impor-
tant factor in college life and
should be available to every
student from the beginning.
Consequently, it has been the
policy Of the University that
teachers Of the best equipment
and of professional rank should
render a portion of their serv-
ices to freshmen.
1t is in consequence, / believe,
Of this policy put in practice
over a long period, that the
graduate of the University
speaks with appreciation, and
often with affectionate graft
tude, Of such men as these:
Henry M. Baird, Morris Loeb,
John J. Stevenson and Frarcis H.
Stoddard, from the Colleges Of
Arts and Engineering; Benjamin
Butler, John Norton Pomeroy,
Austin Abbott and Clarence D.
Ashley, from the School of Law;
and Edward G.. Janeway, Egbert
lie Fevre, Austin Flint, Valentine
Mott and Graham Lusk, from
the School Of Medicine.
This does not begin to exhaust
the list and no mention is here
made Of those who are still in
active service.
In these days of all others this
succession of great teachers
must not be allowed to fail.

You may know this car the minute
you look at the illustration, and then
again you may not. You may have TO
