COLLEGE PROFESSORS
If c,oitege professors aren't screams
we'd like to hear some. They make
every bit as funny impressions on us
as we seem to make oi them.
Judging by the volley of sarcasm
that we bring down upon our inno
cent, unsuspecting heads, we feel our
selves to be pitiable objects in the in
tellectual world. However, we have
noticed Sonic queer things about these
intellectualists aid are ready to divuige
a few of them--mind, I say a few:
First, there is the unsuspecting, trust
ing, dlear old men, who believes every
thing the students tell him and takes it
for granted that they can not help but
)e interested in his subject.
The oie who gives the students credit
for a little human intelligence is the
lppular, and its around him that stu
dents cluster after c.ass hours, asking
questions, and chatting in a friendly
manner.
The biting sarcastic prof. is the one
who succeeds in making frail-souled
creatures tremble. The strong minded
could probably bite him back with some
of his own medicine.
The suspicious prof. never thinks you
have lone your lesson, is sure you hate
the course, and wonders how your par
ents ever persuaded you to come to
c()liege.
Ar<other goes over and over his gems
(f wisdoi on the supposition that a
student must be told a fact 18 times
before lie cana or will remember it.
Trhe stoiid, plodding phlegmatic prof.
is the one wvho pr,obably gets the least
reaction. One finds oneself wondering
what it is all about.
The man who gets hold of a siagle
phrase arxd works it to death, acdds much
to our general amusement.
'There is the grof. who thinks lhe is
witty, and bores class after class, fear
after year wit lhthe same line of jokes.
And these are just a few of the reac
tions we register.--Diamondback.

Speaks at Dormitory
American Association of Univer
sity Women Entertained by
Dean Dillard
"Education alone will not solve social
problems," said Dr. G. Croft Williams
Tuesday 't his address to the Colum
bia branch of the American Association
of University Women, "but it must be a
functional education, and the greatest
contribution that college women can
make to education is to ra'se the quali
ty of it." The subject of his address
was "Legislat'on-Its Educational In
fluence."
The association met with Dean Irene
Dillard in the Womans .BuIlding, with
about 35 members and guests present.
After the program a social hour was
spent during which Dean Dillard ser

May Be Life Savers
Red Cross Life Saving Contest
To Be Held in February at
Pacific Mills Pool
In order to prepare more candidates
for the Red Cross Life Saving contest,
to be held the week beginning Febru
ary 21, at the Pacific Mills pool by the
captain from Red Cross headquarters
in New York, Red Cross workers in
the city are planning to give instruc
tions to aspirants if arrangements can
be made.
The Knights of Columbus pool has
been secured for two weeks and if as
many as 63 girls care to enter and pay
a fee of one dollar for two weeks, a
chore of capable instructors will be on
the job to teach beginners swimming,
advanced swimming, diving, and life
saving. The pool will probably be open
all day but a systematic class schedule
will also be arranged. University girls
are especially urged to make an ef
fort to take advantage of this oppor
tunity to get some good swimming, in
structions. Those who care to do so
should see Miss Claudia Cantey about
final arrangements.

heavy appetite is wasting away to a

And the girls, tool They aren't con

the Gamma Beta Alpha residence, the

-Boston Univ. News.
Only thirteen students were dropped
because of poor acadlemic standing from
the rolls of the college at the begin
ning of the second term. This is an
unusually small number of students to
be dropped for this cause.
Thle present enrollment of the col
lege is about 1130, compared with 1180
in September. Thirty-eight students re
signed during the fall term, and twenty
five did not return after (Christmas.
Tlwo wvere dropped for poor military
record, and two were shipped for vi.ola
tion of the honor system. 'ren old stu
