Profs Say Student Is The Grand Enigma— And Vice Versa The professor slipped behind the desk. An- other eight-thirty. They ' d be worse than usual. Well, nothing to do but call the roll. Adams, Amison, Bowers . . . absent . . . too bad more of them couldn ' t be. . . . Who ever conceived of the Saturday class anyway? . . . It ' s impos- sible for students to comprehend anything on a Saturday. ... If I could only get on with the research . . . bet no one has hit on that angle . . . too obvious. . . . Now, where did I stop after the last lecture? . . . They ' ll think me a dundering idiot ... do anyway. . . . Miss Adams has her knitting again. How can that boy use so many socks? . . . and Mary ought to remember to darn mine. . . . No won- der I can ' t find the place, I forgot to prepare any notes. . . . Class, this morning we will have a short quiz. Last meeting, you ' ll re- member we talked about . . . not that each and every one of you hasn ' t forgotten what the last lecture was all about . . . the mate- rial in the ninth chapter.

Now, if I can just complete the story, it may sell . . . the roof needs fixing, so does the. . . . There ' s the bell. . . . Hand in the papers, please. Your assign- ment is on the board. . . . And don ' t tell me you have work in other classes, I ' ve heard it too often . . . my own stupidity. . . . Now, I have all those tests to correct. The prof had his own outside reading to do. One student always wanted the test early. Six days a week, the prof lectured to the letter-writers, knitters, magazine-readers, manicurists and nap-catchers who are called students.
