Class of 1915
Lacking news for this issue, we looked through our old secretary, and found some entrance examination questions, set up in pamphlet form by Dartmouth College, just previous to the advent of this class into Hanover, and the powers that were asked questions such as:—Was Shylock a hero? .... Why was "Lycidas" written? .... Indicate the location of Aquae Sextiae, Numidia, Actium, Trajan Show yout knowledge of the Act of Supremacy, and liken Theodore Roosevelt to Oliver Cromwell What were the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions? .... Translate page after page of two of Greek, Latin, or French Tell what you know about Archimedes and his Principle. .... And about the Hypothesis of Avogadro .... then we follow along and find something more easy, such as the function of a nervous system, bacteria, seed, equations, theorems, binomial formulas, a rectangular parallel opiped, and proving various items geometrically. It is not our notion to be jocose, but just to ask the said brethren how many of these questions we could answer today (we had to use a crib ourselves).
George Hutchins has broken out again, out where the Lord, the government, and Eastern farmers take care of things, i.e., the Lord and the government raise the grain, the G. W. Hutchins Cos. sell it, and we Eastern farmers (try to) pay the bill. Anyhow, George, according to the Sioux City (Siox City to George) papers, can save any farmer $.35 per day per cow if he uses George's various grains.
Hugh Rowell, Roney or Red to us, Professor to Columbia, and collector of antiques to himself, wrote a very interesting article in the December issue of MedicalEconomics. Hugh quotes the old story of the New Hampshire farmer who reclined in a Windsor chair from June until October—he wanted visitors,—the scheme was sure fire. Would that we could be allowed to reprint the entire article. And if you happen through Tarry town, N. Y., look at the 102 old clocks which Hugh has.
Jack and Kay Mason write from Malmo, Sweden. Jack is studying textile conditions and will be there for some months. Only six hours of daylight Christmas day, but they both advise brighter days, and will we all come over? Opportunity knocks but once.
