Oh, hundud li ml II was elected. Vere Sower, ' . I ' res., Kr.iiiees Stevens, Sec., Kriiest Hri)wn. Treasurer — all will u|)luild .leroiiie in his presidential iiolicy. I felt sorry for Elsie Suit when 1 heard that even Dr. Salomon couldn ' t cure her dollv. Also, Maiidic (I don ' t mean the educated movie mide) wanted somehody to p) to Wilder with her — .she even was willinjr to conduct someone tlu-re in her little carl, hut none would fro. Too had ! .Ian. 19 — Today, we had a {rroup of chorus d.incers ] erform for our henefit(?) I know that 1 am laekinj: in several ways, especially in the develoiiment of my artistic apprecia- tion, hut 1 do think those pirls needed some training ' in rhythmical steppinp-out. They called themselves Mrya Tellas and had some kind of contraptions on their heads. .Tan. 22 — I ' ve been so busy preparin}; jaw-breakinj; (luestions that I ' ve neglected you, you idiotic diary — can ' t sec how I ever did ha])|)en to commence you; but New Year reso- lutiims cnnnnt be broken. To continue, now I can write yo i because 1 think I oujiht to kce]i the students company in misery — they all look down-hearted, poor thinfrs. Wonder if tluy can read my writing — No, Mr. Pollard, that word is kant, not pant. These e.xams will be the death of me yet. A whole week of ' em, evervbody lookinfr plum, and feelinp friummer. Oh, well ! tho.se students oiifrbta be jrlad they ' re not Faculty — to have to mark these nifrhtmares they hand in as if doinfr us a service. Jan. 30 — Well, well, well, the new semester started and evervbodv alive and kicking. Oh, boy! I ' ll say they ' re kicking — Just like Maiidie. . nd T just heard about the Post Exam Jubilee. I never go to such things because I have to change my shoes, and it ' s too much trouble for the pains; by the way, pains is right when speaking of my other shoes. .• s I say, 1 didn ' t go, but I heard they all jubileed and a e themselves full of ice- cream. I c;in grin once more without feeling self-conscious. I sure bate to think of writing down another oioiith ' s events in this fool thing, but resolutions is resolutions. Well ! here goes — Feb. 1 — Oh, shoot! I guess I bid better wait until Feb. 1 rolls ari und before I try to write ' er down. I ' m sleepy anyhow —(ioodnile ! ! FEHHIAHY Taken from t ' onfessions of a Hedonist — Prof. S|)ringcr. Feb. 1 — The psychological effect of a Po.st-Exaui Jubilee is very injurious to the delicate mechanism of a student ' s mind in the opinion of Dr. Munsterburg, and I agree with him. The lessons were even worsi ' than iisu.il lod.iy. 1 bilievc even Miss Cummings failed to answer a question. Her hair looked pale today. Dr. Howne said that the good dye young. I am worried about her health, too. .My rord had a metal deadlock this morning which I couldn ' t break. It was so good I fe.ir it will die young. .My own health is rajiidly failing. Feb. 3 — I descended ti the library today :ind found ;i workman there filling uji a hole ill tlu- library floor. I couldn ' t analyze the .situation, so inquired, and rfas informed that Owen had taken a grim precipitation from the chair and that the fate of the floor was despaired of. I shall have to give Mr. Cirim .i test tomorrow, to see if he had any sup- ])ressed desires to injure the lloor. Feb. .5 — In accordance with that famous saying of Socrates that Procrastination is the thief of time. all the students are out skating today. The atnu)s])here nuist be very procrastinating today because my Ford .seemed to be in a iieculiar psychological .sta ' e this morning. That F ' ord almost drives me to physiological psychology when it refuses to respond to the a tioM theory and the tisls which I a|iply ! Perh.i|)s I shouldn ' t u ' se

such stronjr liinfniajrc in my diary, but lo |)ut it iniltlly, it almost drives nu- wild. Thoy tell me I drive it wild; maybe it ' s tlie ])sycholojrieal reaction of revenfrc Fell. II — Today is .lUiitiiio ' s day, and everybody suddenly fell iti love with me. I always thoufrht Rudol})h looked like me. These girls are sure lo)rical minded and bril- liant to .see my pood (jualities so much as lo send me all tho.se hearts. I must use that as a basis for future gradinps. I guess I will raise Miss Haworth ' s grade about 30 ' ; and Miss Gartin s about io ' v. I never realized before what good judgment they had. I think my Ford has some form of IumtI trouble today, also. Hut for Kddie I would get a new- one. My eyesight is failing; 1 must get thicker rimmed speelacles. IMato said, Love is blind. I am quite worried ! Feb. 15 — Eddie asked me for the h ' lird in I haiul lodax. lie lu ' eds it for his researches. I really think T .should get him a new one. Munsterburg says, Well begun is half dunned, and I as getting lots of duns to research from the I ' alm. I must investigate this. They |)inched Stub I5ryant for stealing eider. I hope he don ' t tell who lul])ed him drink it. These cops worry me every time I s])eed down Cleveland. Feb. :il) — Van Nuys resumed coaching girls ' basketball today. I ' olter ipiit becau-e the girls ste])]ied on his toes, he says. Mrs. ' aii is home now so she relciiti ' d and let ' an go ahead. 1 Irii-d to drive ii] I ' ' ord without some of the machinery today. 1 look it to the garage and they told me the engine was missing. I ' m sure I don ' t know where I left the blamed thing. Feb. 22 — Girls won from Ontario 20-17. A ' an has a way with these women. I ' syeho- logical suggestion. Tclegrajih, teleiihone or tell a woman, - ristotle said. Feb. 2+ — 1 guess I ' ll go lo California! The (. ' oiiference debate last night convinced me. Kexburg won the cup. .Mv cii|i ruiiiulli om r, said . naximandcr. The boys wrestle the f. of 1. tonight. Iiiit 1 don ' t think FU go. Eddie has been show- ing me all the new holds. I belicvi- he calls it ( ' o-F.d wrestling, though Just because his name is Ed, I reckon. Maybe he means h ' .d ,ind t ' o. Feb. 2(i — Jim .laekson w.inled me lo sii r|i ,, promissory note for him to .Sears iS: Hoe- Inick for two dozen hair m-ls. I lold him thi- lish were .all caught. My Ford has gastritis — uses . ' j g.il. per mile. I can ' t decide whether the trouble is j)sychological or physiological. I will use the Binet tests and if it don ' t work right I shall order a new b.abv Lincoln.
