Paint Dr. Evans ' unfailing sense of good hu- mor stands him in good stead when the going gets murky or when someone tries to play horse with him. It is a rare treat to see this chubby gentleman hurrying across the campus with his coat-tail strung out behind him like a kite in a stiff breeze. To date no one has seen him walking as if he had plenty of time.
