A graduate of our favorite school himself, ho knows our problems, our trials, our temptations, and our solutions better than wo do ourselves. Ho is ever ready and willing to help all students at any time on any problems that are bothering them. He is always the first to speak when you meet on the campus. That smile is ever presont on his lips and his kind words always smooth over any defeat that wo might have mot.
