The -S'1lf76fflll0llS, a very necessary tliingfi -Voltaire It is ironical that from the country comes one of Landon's most urhane cos- mopolites- Gentleman jeff. Descending upon these azalea-hedecked grounds, he assumes lightly the tedious chore of aca- demic endeavor. Allergic to work, hut perspicacious, he rouses from his lethargy to master the daily task so that when the more important jobs of keeping the hounds and going to deh parties heckon. he can indulge his fancy with impunity. One cannot but Wonder at jeff's ability to present a thumbnail sketch of anyone he knows with a few well-chosen hut caustic comments. And although these charac- terizations may not jihe with the suh- ject's opinion of himself. they are a con- stant source of delight to those who are fortunate enough, because of their pres- ence. to escape such scathing remarks. 25 JOHN FRANKLIN FORT ..JeH,.

A dehonair socialite, he removes himself from this vehicle and carefully adjusts his Georgetown Shop tie. which matches his Saks jacket. As some of his less sophisticated classmates refer to it. Lee shoots the hull as he st1'olls toward the laboratory recounting the manner in which he kept a straight face while speaking his lines on Saturday night. Later in the day one can always spot. either at a year hook meeting or on the football field, this dashing fSdltOl'-f1llill'tCl'- back by his perfectly adjusted Brooks Brothers' handkerchief or his Abercrom- bie and Fitch shoulder pads. 24

Hohin attends each class every day with the zeal of a minor stockholder. to emerge satis- fied or cynical. but undefeated. Occasion- ally he cuts a few classes to obtain ads for the News-one of his corporate inter- estsg and it is in this field that Rohin excels. Returning from his husiness trip in time. he delivers in stentoration tones several inter-office memoranda pertain- ing to the Dance Committee and other of his enterprises. This done, he withdraws to his office to contemplate his grandiose scheme of merging these into a financial empire over which he could hold sway. Nor do his dreams and here. for Rocket is truly a man of the world. renowned for his savoir-faire at embassy parties and for his smashing success in the ancient art of pugilism. 26
