We fear violence in reviving the nhsentminded professor, but we beg to remind you of the one who took his ambitious astronomy class to breakfast at B. U.'s Copley Plaza. When the presiding Venus counted checks and noses it seemed that the count was not even. After much cross-questioning and search, we found the missing link in the professor's pocket.

'What a charming truck-driver the Doctor would make. Picture the chagrin upon the countenance of some humble pedestrian who, forced to smile under a veritable barrage of personalities ranging all the way from a Slime-mould to a Simpetalae, turns him the other cheek in the direction of the receding vehicle, only to be stung with the final slap of - Is everything perfectly elear?', BRENTON ILEID LU'rz 49 Laurel Street, Melrose, Massachusetts S.B., Boston University, 19133 A.M., 191-1-,Ph.D., 1917. fl' B lx, B 9 ll.

A T, E E. Professor of Chemistry. A jingly tin peddler rang his hell outside a house, one long ago sunshiny day. A small boy sat watch- ing him, mentally choosing just such an alluring profcsion for his more earthly moments. Small boy's Mother came out of the house with a pail of fat and walked around the cart with it. Lyman couldn't see how it was done, but she came right hack, and with two cakes of soap! He sat and thought a long, long while -- and then became a chemistry professor. Such is the influence of tin peddlers. IIe might have been a politician - or a poet.

Even the professors have it - it being the radio fad, at least Professor Holmes has, so they tell us. The other night he got Norway, yes, indeed, but there's a town - 'nuff said! When a prompt pro- fessor gets Norway and comes two minutes late to his nine o'clock class, who are we to object? If eyes can talk, either the world IS a joke on a stupendous scale or Prof. Holmes is hiding an inferiority complex. WILBEW1' GUSTAF Auow LINDQUIST 210 High Street, Medford, Massachusetts S.B. Boston University, 19153 D.O. Massachusetts College of Osteopathy, 1923. ill B K, l T 2.1. Instructor in Chemistry. Man and the gods unite to tell tales of the ahsentminded professor - this is our pet one: Once upon a time a certain class in chemistry met. Time elapsed but no professor confronted them. They could not leave, for they could see him in the distance industriously chewing the elements of his pet pencil. More time elapsed - and still more - there were twenty minutes left to the hour. Suddenly Professor Lind- quist saw his class! 19
