Bennett, strange to say while receiving his full shaie of everything else, never received a nickname. His handsome and genial disposition evidently fore- stalled any advances of this kind from his fellows. He is one of the brightest students in his class. He believes that a little learning is a dangerous thing, and consequently he resolved to drink deep of the sweet waters of learning. His natural inclination to study together with his remarkable brilliancy has made his college career both pleasant and profitable. When it comes to Math, he is in a class all to himself. As a consequence of this, he is now assistant in Math. He has equally developed along the other lines of college life. He takes an active part in lit- erary society work, likes athletics, and is somewhat fond of sporting. He is an all-round fellow, and in view of his ability and accomplishments he will be well prepared to enter the teaching profession.
