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. EDXVARD 0'r1s HOLMES, Jn. 31 Greystone Road, Malden, Massachusetts A.B. Harvard University, 19145 A.M. 19165 Ph.D. Johns Hopkins University, 1920. 1Ilfl. Instructor in Chemistry. 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

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.

4 IIELEN MARY STEVENS 308 Central Avenue, Needham, MtLSStLCl1ll50ttS A.ll., Boston University, 19053 A.M., 1921. A lil. Assistant in Chemistry. Behold the guardian angel of reagent bottles, the skilful wielder of mortar and pestle, the cool, clear- eyed arbiter of the unbalanced equation. May those who through her tuition have found the means to acquiring chemical equilibrium, project their discovery as successfully as she, into their extra-chemical existence.

Five minutes spent in waiting for the class to assemble, ten for attendance. For the next time take Chapter 52. The outline for Chapter 51: - Now here isa sample quiz, how would an increase in the number of plows affect: 1. the rent ofa given piece of land, etc. - That will be all for today. Professor Hnse calmly remarks, I am dumbfounded that you should think that I would deviate in the slightest from my usual procedure.

No doubt the underclassmen have noticed a small, quiet. dignified professor passing through our corridors and disappearing into a classroom on the sixth floor. Any student of Sociology will identify this man as our well beloved Doctor Groves, the teacher who spurs us to study, research and thought in that boundless science. To this dear friend, we wish to extend our sincere wishes for a pleasant and beneficial year of writing and lecturing - for we have learned to our sorrow that he is K' vacationing from our Alma Mater next year. 20
