Professor Whitehorne is very patient with us. He sometimes confuses us, with such units as joules, gauses, microfarads, ab- volts, and abohms, but we come to grasp their meaning in the course of time. JOHN MURRAY CARROLL, A,M.

He has one ad- vantage over most of the Profs: in that his senior classes are small. This is not, how- ever, any fault of Prof. Ramsdell.
