Yes, we had our troubles running up rivers and along boundaries locating Poltava or the territorial provi- sions of the Treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji . . . Besides history in its pure form, Yearling Year consisted of discussions of contemporary and current events presented in the section room and in the lecture halls, and included a study of the theory and practice of governments . . . Supply and demand and marginal productivity in First Class Econ kept us puzzled and busy, but rationalized an irrational economic world with graph and theory. In all, E G H with maps, discussions, graphs, and epic WGR ' s gave us a broad background in many broad subjects. 47

efUiAt n nt ojj Yearling Chem and First Class Juice, in the inadequate time allotted, more than adequately kept us on our toes tD learn the basic laws and fundamental truths of two highly im- portant and extremely technical subjects. In Chem section rooms we labored over problems ranging from behavior of the smallest atom to the operation of the argest industrial processes; in lecture rooms, we watched demonstrations — the success of which we covertly at- tributed to Joe Molecule; and in lab we applied our own knowledge in elementary reactions and experiments. Juice was offered in much the same manner, but we found greater satisfaction in handling greater energies than could be derived from titration and analysis of minute samples of unromantic substances . . . In short, atoms and molecules, volts and amperes ex- plained everything, taught us much, and worked us not a little . . . ' QUe Kiii if, 1st Row— Ll. Col. N, Farrell, Lt. Col. J. W.

Settled, hv now, more or less comtortablv in barricks — having exchanged fieldwork for brainwork — we man- aged to find free hours to spend enjoying our still new upperclass privileges. Dragging to shows and hops, learning our way around the Lower Walk, boodlin ' up at Scottv ' s, and two-stepping it in the paint and canvas- covered Thayer ballroom made life considerably more tolerable. The zip in the air that presaged another Siber- ian winter turned our thoughts to football . . . We cheered as Army took Villanova, Temple, and Colgate — sweltered in overcoats going up to Baker Field in New York subways and watched the Lions hold us to fiftv-two points before it rained. We looked
