said to anybody). P over 2 equals plus or minus XYZ; now that ' s your old friend you met back in your Freshman year . Then we drift along a few steps down the hall to bask in the beaming smiles, and blink in the luster of the shining countenance of Proffessor Graham. After helping Caeser build a few bridges and Cicero to abuse Cataline, and Virgil to revise his sonnets, with a few thurfores interspersed, the class is dismissed. But as an after-thought, we are all reminded constantly that, a D is enough for anyone to make . Right across the hall we meet Professor Woodworth ' s, Do you see the point? There is always the irrepressible conflict . This piece Mister-r-r C — . lacks both coherence and emphasis, your sentences are not well enough balanced and lack symmetry . Then Scansion of In Memoriam is dessert. Then we skip along merrily upstairs into the dignified presence of Dr. Kenne- dy. When I was at Hopkins! This author says , or your author says so and so. Q. Dr. Kennedy, who wrote the Penteteuch? A. Well Woodrow Wilson says . Comparable to this we have the policy of Mr Wilson . Mr. T — , will you please wake up; you might learn something inadvertently. Next we trail along in single file up the rickety stairs of the new Science Hall into Chemistry, where we are greeted by Prof. Cartledge with outstretched hands, ( Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.) ' Take the following questions for our daily five-minutes written quiz: Dis- cuss completely the by-products of smoke, and give reasons and equations for each reaction. If any time be left, give all the practical uses of soap. For the next lesson, take all the compounds of Carbon. I will excuse the laboratory to- day at ten minutes before five o ' clock, so that you may go to the ball game, provided you make up the lost time next week. And we come to the fatherly protection of Dr. Brimm. Please close the door. Mr. Mcllwain, have you your analysis of the I 19th Psalm? During a pause after a long tirade against hating personal enemies, some one acci- dentally (?) asked, How about Lincoln? Please tell me the man who intro- duced Lincoln into the discussion, I want to give him a zero. Prof. McLaughlin holds forth up in the third floor. Now I found this same dis- crepancy while dissecting my 6 mm. pig, when I was at Princeton. Will the class take the next eighty pages in Embryology for the next lecture. An- swer: No. Oh, yes! 1 forgot to announce that we will have a practical ex- amination next Monday on the last two months ' work. Here endeth the lesson. Selah.

The Life of The Faculty. All at once without any previous warning, one is rudely shaken out of his blissful dreams of home and visions of cookies and pie by the awful jangle of that blessed (?) bell out in the yard. This comes off about seven-thirty, but it ' s all a fake, you don ' t have to get up till the fi ve-minutes bell. Then you yank on a bath robe and make a hundred yard dash for the Judd (Mess) door — eight o ' clock. Goat hash, stewed prunes and hot dog, with C. S. molasses a la dilute for dessert. At a quarter of nine everybody is herded into one big room called the Chapel. After the regular devotional exercises, we are forced to hear Doug rear around for a season of great length. Now young men, I see that someone has been spitting on the walk leading up to the Administration Building. I can ' t understand that, for you all are young gentlemen and should never expectorate, also you learn to use your lead pencils only at the right places — the wall is not the right place. I notice also that the marks are on the decline; that means too much loafing up town. Now, while I do not like to condemn, yet I must say that you are all children yet, and your conduct must be regulated. The new Science Hall will be ready for occupation next week at two o ' clock. Oh yes, Kelly will scrape the ball diamond early to- day so as to have it ready for Coach in the morning. Are there any more an- nouncements from any member of the Faculty?. I will meet all of my classes in the new Science Hall two weeks hence — all absences in the meantime must be accounted for , says Prof. Cartledge. 1 would like to see the following men at my room sometime between the fourth and fifth period to-day: Mr. J. M. Thompson , says Dr. Kennedy. I would like to meet the members of my sub-fresh class in Science immediate- ly after chapel , says Prof. McLaughlin. After these last parting shots the young ladies are dismissed, then the young gentlemen are sent out into the loving embraces of their dear professors. (Oh, how I love my dear teacher.) Suddenly the door of the Greek room closes behind your back, and you feel as though you are being gradually dropped into an abyss of despair and engulfed with hyomei . The recitation is frequently interrupted to remind one that I have been teaching Greek for twenty-three years . After pronouncing a prolong- ed curse upon them as won ' t study , the class is dismissed with a parting injunc- tion against making noise in the halls. Now we have it! Oh, the glories and the bliss of that hole dominated by one called Venerable . Now heah, its very evident that you haven ' t studied the lesson to-day. You ought to be at home hoeing the veggetubles in your mother ' s gyarden. If you wouldn ' t smoke so many segyars and play so many cyards, and ride around so much in Mr. J ' s cyar, you might not flunk . (Above likel y to be
