Frankly, Scarlett
LEON BURR "Cheerless" Richardson—he was called that because he never smiled-was an accomplished writer and teacher of literature. He took an appointment in the Chemistry Department because it paid better. His rival was Andrew Scarlett.
One student memorized an entire chapter of the chemistry textbook for an exam, and cribbed it word for word in the test answers. Richardson flunked him, scrawling next to a big "F": "Scarlett wrote it."
