Of course, Nat is listed iII the town records of New Haven, Connecticut, as Nathaniel Dennyg but we here know him more intimately than the clerk of records. He's Nat to us, and sometimes more than that. VVe see in him the re-incarnation of Solomon, Cellini, Casanova and Byron. Perhaps we are not just in personifying Nat with an actual character from history, if for no other reason than that their actualities make them less romantic. So we shall reclaim for Nat a character from out of romance. Let is be JURGEN. And upon the following facts we rest out case: At Nat's birth there appeared in the zodiac STRAYVS ANI: PRAYER Boorcs. As he grew into boyhood, he became THE RIVET IN GIQANDFATHEICS NECK, and was TPIE EAGI,E,S SHADOW among his gang. From THE HIDIJEN WAY Nat came to Clark. He withstood 8 o'clock classes, CIIIS and marks by a peculiar KQALLANTRYQ and surrendered himself to Bohemes, proms and frat dances with a peculiar CHIVALRY. He knew there was music in women, if one only stroked THE CoP.Ds or VANITIES skillfully. Nat's LINE or LOVE made him many times conqueror of 'PHE HIGH PLACE. At our gatherings Nat would Hare in like a champion from BEYOND LIFE. He was 'PHE CREAM or THE JESTQ we were but humble FIGURES or EARTH. And so THE SILVER STALI,IoN wins again.

WHEN the handwriting appears on the walls of the Chemistry building a 'cd' long story of the life of George A. Dawson will be told. For the college ' life of George was mainly in the chem building. There he ate, slept, con- hy ducted elaborate experiments and caused frequent explosions which almost I wrecked the building. lk The college life of this lab rati'-and we use such a descriptive term out l of all respect for the genius who can create chemical formulas unintelligible yi to English majors like us-may be divided into two periods. The lirst lk includes his freshmen and sophomore years, when outside of scientific circles , f all that was known of George was that he was a devout chem major, light- ll- ing shy of the womenfolks, a stranger to the corrupt influences of the dance- , hall and an orthodox Baptist. Xi The second period in the evolution of George A. is marked by a meteor- l like ascent in the social world. It appears that George hitched his wagon to a X newspaper job and henceforth became popular and humang that is, as nearly If human as a lab rat can be. It is even rumored, and there are witnesses to Il substantiate this rumor, that he was seen with a girl as many as three times he at college affairs. 'I Despite these reports, we still retain our faith in the inherent goodness of X George. He is still of the type against whom Mencken rants, a type much lr maligned but withal rather essential to the progress of the country. X George A. li X la ll ill E I'-:SI

However, our first intimation that 54 he had blown into Clark can best be recalled by referring to the excellent f ll, support he gave in making possible the first real orchestra Clark ever had. H. ffm Many of the Musical Club men can recall his wonderful sax solos and lg, 15-ri his part in the sax duets which in some cases brought the first tint of as ' ' modernism in music to more than one Reuben and Rachel in the environs 'fd id of Worcester. .Xj 'X Now to illustrate that G, K. is an earnest scholar and has tried to by it profit by his instruction, we are awfully sorry to state that UG. K. forsook J it the musical club for other interests. It seems that HG. K. tried to investigate lf-- N the truth or fallacy of Dr. Brandenburg's pet phrase the law of supply and N4 N, demand . 'V iii' Finding a modicum of truth in it he centered his attention on dance iq 'ld orchestrasg some made up of Clark men who have made possible many a , Nl, ha evenin for the dance lovers of the Heart of the Commonwealth . H, PW . 3 . . . . . , . t , Outside of his lnterest in music we know very little of G, K.'s' interest it except that he is a staunch supporter of all our college activities and can be f, relied upon in almost any emergency to be motivated in his judgment by the Q4 idea that the reason for Clark's existence lies in its inherent goodness.
