Qu-vi THE BATHTUB bathtub is an oval receptacle for bathing of a human body. It is about .. o feet deep and twelve inches too t. It comes in several varieties from sitz to the suitz. The latter is a j of bath tub you look at but do not et. A bathroom with a bathtub is a good thing to have, even if you have no use for it-because it gives you something to talk about. Some years ago, people would speak of it in a casual way, just as now- adays one speaks of his automobile. It was a sort of ticket that admitted one to the circle of the first-families. To say I was in the bathtub when you rang the bell was much like saying, I was in Europe. It puts your unwashed friend at a disadvantage. It was a mark of dis- tinction to mention a stationary bath- tub. I used stationary because in olden days, and days not so old, a bathub was neither stationary nor exclusive. The clothes were soaked in it Sunday, the .W .-pw THE ORACLE V Wednesday, it began to be used as a bathtub for the rest of the Week. According to certain records in Clay- ton's Monthly, June, 1929, I found that Adam Thompson of Cincinnati, Ohio, was the first man in America to install a tub in his house. This was December 25, 1840. It aroused the nation to an uproar. The medical profession, with unusual foresight, declared it a danger- ous thing and bound to increase diseases of all sorts. Finally, Millard Fillmore, President of the United States, put a bathtub into the White House, in 1850. That settled it. Society took it up and began to brag about bathing on other days than Saturday. A New York hotel put in a bathtub. People went far to see it. When royal dukes visited America, they were even taken to see it and the marvel was regarded with much interest. There is much more I could say. But I refrain. Bathtubs are but the begin- ning. The day will come when every town will have sumptuous public baths. Then perhaps we shall be clean-and washboard was put over it Monday, corn G0d1Y- was husked into it Tuesday, and, by DOROTHY JORDAN OUR DESTINATION How we have longed to reach this exalted station And hold a diploma with this class of ours! Yet the thought of saying farewell, dear Alma Mater, Saddens us as we go - Farewell, a word that will forever cling to our hearts. Now as our thoughts turn back from this exalted station To the struggles, and to the unbreakable knot of comradeship Formed by our continuous meeting from day to day, Now we must depart, Bidding each other and Alma Mater farewell. The hour of time has slowly dropped its curtain, And now we must follow our own walk of life, Yet the sorrow of leaving our dear Alma Mater Shall never be forgotten, For we love you, though we leave you, Now our years are through.
