til ' Itunil It ' I I i ' thh t u DECEMBER The following consists cf Prof. Sinitli ' s rcsi-a relics for Dccoinhcr. Dec. I — There have been some wonderful o|)|)orlunities to sliiily iiii ' lMliolisni these Thanks- {rivin;: days. I take it that I ' rof. .Springer ' s alxl inal size is clue to tin- over-development of the digestive glands. They seem to he |uite eflieient at any rale. In contrast consider I ' rof. }Iayman; he is a very dainty eater. However, he made a record on Thanksgiving! He is a man of iron, so 1 su]i|iose these jiartieles of h.ird metal .lided him in grinding and disposing of so much nourishment. Dec. () — I had a great argunietit uilh .Springer today .ahout the .Soul. He says it is identical with itself. I insisted that it was the results of action and interaction between the a- ions and dendrites of successive neurons which have been integrated in the central nervous sy.stem and .as such coiistitule .1 physiological unity to which all impressions are referred. Sjiringer insists th.at .aia|uired ch.iraclers arc iiiluritcd .anil tli.it man didn ' t descend from monkey. T will admit that sume folks seem to li.ave inlieritiii monkey characteristics. Dec. S — Tliat industrious HoliiTt l ' arrar won the Cleaver debate medal tonight. He did it by Russian the ipiestion in Holshevik style. The mention of color red seems to have a peculiar efl ' ect on the optic nerve. 1 cs]iecially noticed Prof. Rankin. He must be ) ccu- liarly sensitive to suggestions of long wave length etherial vibration--. l)i-c. It — Last night was the foolball oyster fi-cd, but (icr.ildine .Sanford couldn ' t even tell me whether the oyster was a Pelccy]ioda or a (;astro])oda. I fear that I can never instill the true scientific spirit in Miss Sanford. .Some of my other students must have jiartaken in this stew party last night also. Table manners should be revi.sed to allow one to dissect such food in a true scientific manner. Korccjis, scalpels and scissors shoidd be furnished at every banquet to allow the guests to an.Lly c their food. Think how th.at would lii- -lo|) the scientific spirit!!! Dec. I. ' ) — The ? ' reshmaii-,So]ihomorc di-bale w.as tonight. ' I ' lic sophomores won unan- imously, jiroving conclusively tlie biological priMci|iie ilial adajilation results from accumu- lated cxjierieiici ' . Dec. J(l — The elVeets of the (iorlie -s Christmas party must have lieen dis.astrous. I noticed blisters on the lips and cheeks of scver.il ])articipants. I suppose th.it mistletoe must have some jieeuliar efl ' ect on the skin. I heard Ereda lirown singing No-. l, No-Al yesterday; they were together last night .and then- don ' t seem to be imidi left of him with his face all scratched and clawed u|i .as it is. l ' ' rid.i has sever.al blisters on her face. Dec. ' - The bewildering .a]ipearance of a fcm.ile is wholl .1 m.ilti-r of dress anil is not a sex attribute. This was ]iroven lonighl li lli.al bewitching little maiden known as Cynthia, alias Earl Sccoy, in the W M. play last night. 1 used to think that the human race was an exception to the biological )irinciple that the male is the most brilliant. Rut now I prove that women just use camoullagc. Christmas vacation begins tomorrow so I shall .stop this diary until my enviroinnent is more conducive to theorizing. .1 AM ' ARY .Mr. Il.avni.an m.ade .1 New c.ir ' s resolution to kee]i .1 diar . We doubt if he will keep it 11)1 very long, but it makes no ilitTereiiee to us if he eompleti-s this month. .Ian. 2 — I.and knows why I started this confounded thing, es]ieeially just now when .ill the students come pouring in again after their holidays. Don ' t they know that we wish they would stay away? I ' ve been noticing things today. Everyone looks dilTcrcnt.
