Before coming to the AI. X. A. S. he taught in Cleveland. He is an example of the round peg in the round role or the square peg in the square hole, for he fits into any angle of his work, to our profit, if not always to our pleasure. Few are they who complete their course without trembling in the official presence and no one, however brief his experience, fails to have a happy mem- ory of his personal cordiality.
