The steward was Charles Kendall Adams, '61, while other members were Walter W. Perry and Byron M. Cutcheon of the class of 1861 and Martin L. D'Ooge of the class of 1862. Recreation was not a part of the earlier curriculum and athletics were unknown under that name, though feats of strength, jumping, lifting dumb-bells, the heavier the better, and foot-races, were common.
These, omitting numerous textbooks and aside from the volumes issued in the University Humanistic Series and others, include, "The Acropolis at Athens," , by Professor M.L. D'Ooge; "The Will to Doubt, an Essay in Philosophy for the General Thinker," , by Professor A.H. Lloyd; a series of works on psychology by Professor W.B. Pillsbury, including "Attention," ; "The Psychology of Reasoning," ; "The Fundamentals of Psychology," , and "The Psychology of Nationality and Internationalism," . Professor R.M. Wenley, head of the Department of Philosophy has also written a number of books which include, "Modern Thought and the Crisis in Belief," ; "Kant," ; "The Anarchist Ideal," ; and the "Life of George S. Morris," . Professor R.W. Sellars of the same Department has written, "Critical Realism," ; "The Essentials of Logic," ; "The Essentials of Philosophy," ; and "The Next Step in Religion," , while Professor D.H. Parker is the author of two volumes entitled "The Self and Nature," , and "The Principles of Æsthetics," .
Professor Boise was succeeded by Professor Martin L. D'Ooge, '62, whose fine enthusiasm for the best in classical culture and his genius for friendship were long with the University. For several years before his death in 1915, Professor D'Ooge was, with Dr. Angell, one of the few links which tied the present Faculty to the era of those earlier leaders.
His insistence on discipline and high standards in recitations had a profound influence on the mental habits of those in his classes. Professor D'Ooge, '62, his successor, remarks of him that "probably no teacher of those days got so much downright hard work out of his pupils."
Associated for long years with Professor D'Ooge in the Department of Greek was Albert H. Pattengill, '68, who died in 1906. He was another extraordinary teacher, whose strong personality will long be remembered, while his love of outdoor sports will be honored by generations of athletes whose interests he served unselfishly throughout his lifetime.
The resignation of Charles Kendall Adams brought another loved personality to the University, Richard Hudson, '71, whose gentle peculiarities only endeared him to his students. He succeeded Professor D'Ooge as Dean of the Literary College in 1898.
Always first in any reminiscences of the early days was Professor George Palmer Williams, the first real member of the Faculty, always known to his students as "Punky," possibly, as Professor D'Ooge suggested, because of the "dryness of his wit."
