Mack IS noted chiefly for his Math. 1 heories, being a devout believer in the use of the fundamental formula as a very present help m time of trouble. Though usually quiel, he takes sudden fits of talkativenesj and harangues for a while each night in his sleep — usually on the inexpressible value of the fundamental formula.

In him we have an exemplification of one dear to the hearts of the fair sex; whose winning ways, coy manners and captivatmg smile have a marvelous effect in winning then hearts.
