Our views on these topics are somewhat heterogeneous on account of their in- transmutable idiosyncrasies. Had my scholastic duties been less multitudinous I should have prepared material for an erudite dissertation on ' Anthropomorphi- tonianismicaliation, ' to be handed down to posterity, thus demonstrating to my whilom instructors my preeminent intellect. However, I feel sure that the afore- said instructors have already forecast for me a brilliant career in the intellectual realm, where I am to win fresh laurels to add to those precedently won for Peace.
