This is parTicularly True when playing bridge. Joe Talks a marvelous game. Aside Trom This TaulT Joe's accomplishmenTs are many and varied. As a sTudenT Joe musT be commended. l-le was always righT up aT The head oT The class, and he guarded his posiTion wiTh iealous pride. l-le had a pracTice oT making beTs wiTh his Triends ThaT he would secure so many A grades and so many B grades each semesTer. lncidenTally, Joe was never known To lose a beT. By no means are Joe's TalenTs resTricTed To The classroom. l-le is a musician. par excellence, having played The violin in The college orchesTra, and The cymbals Tor The band. l-le owns a saxophone, and alThough he cannoT play iT, iT aTTords him much amusemenT, inasmuch as iT is a marvelous noise-producing insTrumenT. So goes TorTh inTo The world This noble characTer, well equipped To engage in The pursuiT oT liTe, liberTy, and happiness, and To demand oT his Tellowmen, in The selecTed Tield oT his endeavor, The recogniTion warranTed by The qualiTicaTions which he possesses, and which disTinguished him as a sTudenT and as a man during his Tour years aT ManhaTTan.

V I-Iis college IiTe aTTorded him many expIoiTs and Tours and his knowledge oT The IvIeTropoIiTan area is asTounding. We doubT ThaT he ever read I:ausT, neverTheIess, excerpTs Trom his diary would do iusTice To Pepys himselT, and his Iachrymose anec- doTes, coupled wiTh his daily readings oT Winchell and I-Iellinger, make up Tor such omissions.
