faculty immediately upon her graduation in 1896, as instructor 

 in Physiology, rising to the rank of associate professor in charge 

 of Neurology, in which field her work is accurate and virile. 



In 1892 came also Irene Hardy, a teacher of English who 

 had been molding generations of eager youth in the Oakland 

 High School. From 1894 to 1901 Miss Hardy's fine influence 

 made itself felt in the department of English, of which she 

 had become an assistant professor. She was, unfortunately, 

 forced to retire from the department because of failing eye- 

 sight, which has, however, not dulled her exquisite poetic 

 fancy, as " Skerryvore," received as I write, clearly testifies. 



In 1893 Lillien J. Martin, a graduate of Vassar and teacher 

 of science in the Girls' High School of San Francisco, came f6r 

 research in Psychology, a work successfully continued at the 

 University of Gottingen from 1894 to 1898. The following 

 year she entered the Stanford faculty as associate professor of 

 Psychology, retiring as emeritus professor in 1917. Meanwhile 

 the high quality of her scholarship had won her the honorary 

 degree of Ph.D from the University of Bonn. Since leaving 

 Stanford, Dr. Martin has taken up in San Francisco the in- 

 teresting and relatively new profession of consulting psy- 

 chologist.

 Farm. From the ranks of these Argonauts pro- 

 fessors were often recruited for Stanford and other 

 institutions, but limits of space warn me against 

 pursuing this fascinating record much further. I 

 may, however, refer to a few more disciples. 



Charles E. Chadsey, '92, who followed Howard and Warner 

 from the University of Nebraska, and long known as one of the 

 most efficient of city school superintendents, is now professor 

 of education in the University of Illinois.
