AT CARLETON Dr. Fath has complete jurisdiction over the skies. and, in addition to this, does much of the writing for Popular As-trrozzomy which Carleton publishes.

Besides memorizi.ng da.tes in the lives of important men, he has been seen at every school function from a formal dance to a voice recital. As eve1'yone wants to take at least one course from him, there is always a. long waiting list for his classes. He can be proud, too, of the fact that all agree he,s as good as his reputation.
