I 'The smallest hcrir z'h4'0ws its shadow. l MEXICO Van de Mark is elected president of everything that admits him to its membership. Such organ- izations run from the Bartenders' Association to the Senior Debating Society. Vandy is also an in- ventor of organizations, but he never perfects them. 'In the middle of last Winter he set about garden- ing with rake and hoe, and as a result he has a promising crop of weeds' on his upper lip. Had it not been for Steer, Vandy would have been the originator of this. Some one has questioned what he usecl to irrigate the garden with. There is a little girl in Brooklyn who will iinally ,capture the mastaclon, and We suggest that she first burn all the pictures that Vandy has collected or indications of his triple life will get abroad. 40

His good qualities, however, are more than skin deep, for he is one of the most active and popular men in the department. He always has an illustrative witticism' at his tongue's end commencing, That's like the fellow whof' etc. No doubt many of these were gathered from lite, for every Tuesday noon Wfilliarns leads the rush to the little top drawer in the library where i'Life is kept.

Being such a practical man, we did not wonder that in the early days, Physics held no charms for him, but when later he admitted that he would really like to take a course in theoretical Physics our amazement knew no bounds.
