Prof. Miss Laipple what is the cause of this situation spoken of by the Author? Miss Laipple. Instinct Prof. Much ignorance can be covered up by that answer. Do you know what that answer means, it simply is a scientific manner of saying I don't know. Prof. Why is this true? It is simply this. These conditions bring forth these results and the same thing obtains wherever these conditions exist. Miss Fanselow. I believe I saw the same thing when I was back home on the farm. Prof. You undoubtedly did. It is very common. A Prof. fPicking up a dead animalj Here is an animal that had to die to aid in the advancement of science, I will now pass it around and let you all look at it closely. Miss Lyons. Do we have to touch that frightful looking thing, it looks like a mouse? Prof. If we can teach Miss Lyons not to be afraid of every little animal throughout this year's work, our work will not have been in vain. Prof. Next Friday we are going to have a nice day -Miss Ganfield Don't say that, it storms every time you say we are going to have good weather. Prof. Well if it is a nice day next Friday we will have a field trip. Prof. That's all for today if you have no questions. PRESIDENT MEYER'S PSYCHOLOGY CLASS. 7:35-Griz- Gee, I don't know a thing about this derned -stuff. Does any- body else? General Chorus- No, Griz- Let's cut then'. Come on! Q Miss Cavana- No, Pd rather stay here and kill time. It's more diplomatic you know. Griz- Well-alright. What shall we talk about? Miss Violet- O, let's talk on the freedom of the will. I'm well loaded up with small shot already. - Franky- No I'd rather talk on affection. Miss M.- Look here, Mr. Editor, I spent all my time working on the Annual for you, now its up to you to talk for me. Now remember, you don't agree with a thing Mr. Meyer says and have plenty of breezy questions ready. See? Arnold- Hm-yes, I get the idea. But what's the idea in breezy ?-to cool Prexy off if it gets too hot for him here? Shag Cunder cover of the firej Say, Kay, do you like dates? Kay- Why-Yes. Shag- Alright, we'll have one tonight. - Della C.- Alright, now does everybody know what he's going to say? Don't you dare forget your piece, Grizf'

Mr. O. will you kindly close the door lest we disturb the passers-by in the hall. Merci, mon- sieur. Miss M. will you please read the first sentence. Ouch! Ouch! you mur- dered that and cut it all up in little pieces. Mr. Schultz, you try the same. Well done! You get those nasal sounds finely. A. Kay fasidej Yes. I think myself he would make a good donkey. CUnaccountable sniker from the classl. Prof. H. You people must settle down and take this work seriously. Hands up now, 'honest Injun', how many people in this class spend more than twenty minutes on your lesson? fGeneral responsel. Well, I'll take your word for it, but I do wish you would make your work show it. Now if you would all burn as much midnight oil over your French as Mr. Bond here does, me thinks you would be an all star French class. Mr. Krieg- But do you think it pays to work so hard with such small return? Twenty minutes discussion. Prof. '4Well, to return to French. Mr. Speers will you conjugate the verb donner in the past inde- finite tense. fAfter a stammering attemptj Don't be an indefinite article. Get a little starch in your backbone. Wake up and get to work. You people must get ua feeling for these French verbs. Campbell Casidej- I have a mighty strong feeling for them already. Prof. fcontinuingj The verb is the backbone of the French language, if you get that, you know French. If you just get the verb, the vocabulary, the pronunciation, and the idiom, all the rest will follow of itself. Lien fdisgustedlyl 'KI should hope so. Prof. Well Mr. Owens try that next sentence. Ugh Ouvre la bouche! What? open your mouth and get that slush out and talk French. Do you people know that each one of you possess about six billion nerve cells and that only two or ten percent of them are being utilized. Be patriotic and appropriate a couple thousand for your French. O well, cheer up, all the people who do not make mistakes have all gone above or below. That's it, you're beginning to get it now. Good. you needn't tell me, you don,t know French. Was that the dinner bell? Well, you may take the next lesson for to-morrowg memorize entire, please. Class excused. BEHAVIOR OF ANIMAL CLASS. Prof. Jones, fabout five minutes after the class bell has soundedj Well if you are done gossiping we will get started on this lesson, some day soon I am going to give a lecture on scientific attitude. Prof. 'LWe will start with you today, Miss Fanselow, what did you get out of the lesson? Miss Fanselow. I didn't understand it at all, I just can't get this stuff. Prof. Never say you can't do a thing Miss Fanselow you must say you haven't been able to get it yet. We all readily appreciate the fact that this is

President Meyer Cto subdued, attentive classj Now, I wish we might have a better response and reaction from the class. I should like to feel that you were really reacting to the subject. Come back at me strong with questions if you don't understand it. Discuss things yourselves. Now, you may take the first question, Lio-nel. Where are your perceptions, are they in your own conscious- ness, or outside of you? For instance is the green in the grass or in your consciousness. Mr. A.- Well, that is according to the way you look at it. Now it depends on what you mean by green, whether you look at it as a physical or psychological phenomenon. Then psychologists don't agree. Titchener and I believe it is in your consciousness. And so on for about twenty minutes until Prof. Meyer be- gins to get a little uneasy. Class yawn and try to look interested. Griz- I don't believe that, what about this theory in Physics? Lengthy explanation by professor. Spirited discussion. Miss M. Well what about this theory in philosophy that everything is motion? Et cetera ad infinitum. Prof. Meyer, fIn amazementj HIS that the bell? How fast the time has flown. Well you have succeeded in taking up the time pretty well. Take the next two chapters for next time and review this one. Class excused? IMAGINE IT! PROF. IVIAGEE LECTURES I admonish you young men not to play with powder. It is an exceedingly dangerous thing. Homes have become ashes, palaces have been ruined, cities have been shattered, by this subtle power. Many a young man has had his sight blurred or his cc-at collar ruined by powder. Wonderful is its power, tragic its results. It adds wonderfully to some things, but you must use care never to displace it from its natural surroundings. Women and girls may safely dabble in pow- der but again I say it is a dangerous thing for a young -man. I also entreat you to beware of the subtle moonlight for its influence is ter- rible. Men have been known to have become delirious from its effects. Moon- light is also likely to give you freckles. The moonlight in the tropics is very beautiful but it has lured many to their graves. Beware young men before it is too late. PROF. SMITH LECTURES. Take heed young men from one older and more experienced than you lest your arm go to waist too soon. Keep it strong and so that it may be used in time of need. Do not strain it in vain encircling movements or in violent constrictive efforts. In order that your arm may serve you well all your days guard it as a precious jewel. Take an experienced man's advice, you can not afford to let your arm go to waist.
