He has thus far progressed through mechanics with flying colors and all indications seem to point to his getting out on ninety, but we fear very much that unless he gets a mighty capable horse he will be so hopelessly stuck in basketball that a dozen arrearages will fail to clear him. Charl es J. Sjmnioiids, Captain 12th U. S. Cavalry. Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and Physical Director. Born at Holland, Mich., October 6, IStiH; U. S.

The only fault that we can lay up against Fritzie is his name. We think he does extremely well to succeed in life handicapped by such a handle as that. He made a record last year on the faculty basket- ball team, but nearly broke his nose in the attempt. Freemont Lincoln Rti.ssell, B. S., V. S. l rofessor of Biology and ' eterinarian .
