That students who climb all dormitory stairs at least twice a day should be excused from gym-unless endeavoring to reduce by exercise 8. That the greatest rarity just before exam week is a Freshman student who has notes of any description on College Life 9. 'That a collection of Dr. Chalmers' anecdotes of famous historical characters would undoubtedly find a place among the year's best sellers 10. That after one year's experience in the writing of weekly themes, .all members -of the class would heartily support any movement for the abolition of all rules of punctuation, spelling, and coherence 11. That the best thing about this year is that next fall we'll be Sophomores. W 35' -S --1 K, '27 Owe hunrlrml thi! 7 . O 9? . T Io

In the light of our further investigations I am inclined to support the latter belief With great care We commenced our excavations. The interior of the building had been to some extent protected and its contents unusually Well preserved--though in a fossilized state. In the flrst room into which We penetrated a closely packed group of skeletons Was discovered, all appar ently facing a Wall of slate, on Which was Written in rather ineligible characters the Words Dr, Chal Wi unable to me t his cl s M nd-. It is thought from this discovery that under the civilization of this era the unfortunate ignorance of the period as to the art of thought transference necessitated the use of Written symbols, the study of which forms an interesting branch of our modern research A still more startling revelation Was furnished by the discovery, in a lower room, of What We have determined to have been ancient instru ments of torture-in fact, definite proof of this was furnished by the skeletons Which Were found hanging from a curious arrangement of it A111153 K1 7 U One hundred f011J
