'Wi n ling around with those unknown equations there bohbed up' in our mind that old saying, VVith every bit of pleasure thcre has to be some pain. But here is hoping that we overcome the unknown. And, boy, when Dr. Taylor got to talking to us about those cells some of the bunch thought that the striped suits were next in order, and some of the gang shut their eyes and immediately saw those iron bars that are put around you. so that no one may do you harm, but they became easier when he told them that those cells were nothing but a nucleated mass of protoplasmf' Dr. Gayle at the beginning of his hour gave every one the once over and singled out our ambitious young Paul Hogan, and looking him square in the eye. shot the following question at him: W'hat is piscidia erythrina ? Some one reached over and steadied him or he certainly would have fallen over. But as we after- wards found ont, Dr. Gayle was only trying to keep him from going to sleep, and then came Prof. Andrews, who didn't waste any time telling us just how many Latin hours we could miss and still he a member of the class. Last but not least Prof. Estabrook took us through the complete growth of an imaginary plant, and when he got through we fully realized that if we got that much instruction out of one period. by the end of the school year we could apply for an assistant's position with the great naturalist Burbank. SEPTEMBER 25. Every day in every way we are getting wiser and wiser. The second week of school has gone by and every one scrambling for the facts of knowl- edge like a flock of chickens after corn. OCTOBER 1. Plans are all made to move into the new building within the next few days. All of our laboratory apparatus is packed, much to the grief of some of the more ambitious of our wonderful collection of knowledge-seeking students. OCTOBER 5. VVe all gather into the new building, all afraid to touch anything for fear we might soil it, but Mrs. XVhitney greets each one with a smile, and with her hands, which were rather soiled from unpacking, and straightening up, told us that there would be no school for a few days. Of course the remark was greeted with much wailing and gnashing of teeth. W'hich is always the result of such remarks. But all departed to lead lives of the rich until fur- ther notice. OCTOBER 10. All fixed up and ready to go, the laboratories were opened and we re- ceived some advanced work in chemistry.

XVell. this doesn't look like a college to me, but that is nothing, mine eyes have deceived me before, Gosh! That certainly was a talkative woman in there. She acted as if she had known me all my life, and l know she has never seen me before. I'll bet that is Mrs. VVhitney because the description they gave me of the secretary just tits her. Anyway, she sure is a fine lady, and I believe l am going to like this school. SEPTEMBER 17. This is the day we shed. Some of the juniors shed those greenbacks just like a duck sheds water. Some paid in full, while others paid only part because they figured that if they owed them something they would receive a little more attention than if they sluffecl it all away at one time. SEPTEMBER 19. Matriculation over and we all begin to Ueye each other and to find out some of their weaknesses. One of the hrst things we learned was that there ain't nothing in names. For instance, there are the Seamon brothers, and neither of them have ever been to sea. Then there is Mr. Greimg you'd think that he is a scummy, slimey fellow, but he is notg he is one of our star com,- ediansg he could draw a laugh out of any sour face that ever came in the class room, and there is Mr. K. K. Karnesg just think of the feeling that would come over you if his initials were signed to an epistle that took on a threatening attitude and was sent special to you. SEPTEMBER 21. The majority of us have gotten all of our specimens Cbooksj with which we expect to help us gain great knowledge, and we start off in high speed to- ward the goal and the reward for our labor which we preserve under glass for all time to come. SEPTEMBER 22. XVe have got acquainted with all of our teachers, and so far everything is lovely. Prof. VVhitney is our guiding star. and boy, what he d0n't know about that old book sure wouldn't make a greasy spot on the time-worn pages of history. Mrs. Whitney. the lady with the smile, does not only take care of the money, but she also shows us how little we know about grasses, weeds and so forth. VVe have to give it to her, she certainly knows about Pharmncngnosy. Then there is Chemistry, where Prof. Gustafson holds the reins. and when he got through with telling us what joy we would find wrest- Pule Fifty-Eight Ny 1iiII5IIIiHIliiilililililimliiilill IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIHIIITIZ. -ffl' 2 l -. i' 1 .Q :- Q it l

The odor of deeoctions. infusions, distillations and incincrations was stiiling. but at noon all emerged happy but hungry. OCTOBER l8. Everything going fine, nothing to complain of because so far everybody is just getting their feet wet. OCTOBER 21. All have made the decision to buy and sell by different systems of weights and measures because Prof. VVhitney has just showed to us the difference between apothecary, troy and avoirdupois systems. And the difference will soon make a poor man rich. OCTOBER 26. The class made the annual trip to the Quindaro water plant and viewed the remains of millions of fossils that are killed in order that we may have decent drinking water, and after being made acquainted with the chemical analysis of the water and apparatus used in purifying the water we came to the conclusion that it was a great thing. But why worry about a few germs? And immediately the old saying comes to us, XVha.t the eyes d0n't see, the stomach d0n't feel. So we returned home much wiser but tired. OCTOBER 31.
