FREDERICK HUSE WEBSTER History "Doc" Elk Horn, Wis. Graduate Four Year High School, Elk Horn, Wis.; Graduate Stout Training School for Manual Training Teachers, Menomorne, Wis.; Teacher Student at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn.; Teacher Student at West- ern Maryland College, Westminster, Md. t "A little learning is a dangerous th'ing. Drink deep, or not at all." HE subject of this sketch, variously known, but usually called "Doc," is F. Huse Webster. In Western Maryland he has earned his title. He says he has been called "Doc" since he was a boy and has been running true to form in the college. If anyone was sick, afflicted with boils, hurt in exercise, or otherwise "done up", "Doc" seemed always to find them out and try to help or in some way give them his ready sympathy. In his way he says he has been doing this to "countless generations" of school boys and girls. "Doc" is older than most of the class, but in spirit one of the youngest. He knew what he was after when he came among us, and has worked hard to get the most he could out of college. His class rating is high. He is, as he states it, "travelling on his own steam", never having had any as- sistance. He is of unbroken Colonial descent and by blood related to the immor- tal Daniel. He is, as he says, a straight-out-and-out New Englander, al- though born in Wisconsin. "Doc" has travelled considerably, and has picked up a lot of knowledge of various kinds, some of which has been sorted and arranged in college. Before coming here he was a student-teacher in Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., and is a graduate of Stout Institute, a famous manual Training Teachers' Training School in Wisconsin. Sixty-lour
