This l il i)i ' hrifilitness was our introduction to J. Bar- liiii rioag. Professor, the man who knows exaetiy why the electrons act the way they do. In fact. Professor Hoag doesn ' t hesitate to show- to the onh oker e idence of devices patented l»y J. B. Hoag, all devised to knock the stuffings out of the electron. When he isn ' t chasing the elusive negative charge, Professor Hoag spends his time heading a department which has man- aged to hold the attention of its students through two ' ar of feverish cramming before monthly exams. After the four semesters of general physics, we were deemed ready for another plunge into that great unknown. Electro-physics. None of us will e cr forget that semester when we spent our time worrying about how anyone would possibly get 25 7 on a final, knowing as little as we did. Somehow, we got through that seemingly insurmountable obstacle. One semester of chemistry was all the test tube shuffling we had to endure. Still, the course revealed all the secrets of compounding soap more pure than Ivory. Confidential formulae for the production of high explosives were re- vealed to those who seemed tired of it all.
