Students Dubious 1 About Professor At First Meeting By BARBARA DERRICK "Pardon my yankee brogue," C these words which poured from the 1 mouth of William L. Spalding, pro- f fessor of history, left dubious ex pressions on the faces of his stu- ] dents. One question crystallized every student's face. Who is this man , s from Pennsylvania, what is he like? For several weeks the stu- j dents of Professor Spaulding have I allowed quizzical expressions to I dominate t h e i r countenance, prompted only by unfamiliarity of I their new professor. There was nothing in the uptilt , of his chin or in his perspicuous brown eyes to offend them; never- c theless, each student eyed him sus piciously as he crossed the room, as if expectaing him to pounce ] upon them as a lion would his prey. When the class bell rang Profes- I sor Spalding glanced up; his lips tickled into an affable grin as he said in a lenient voice, "No assign ment Thursday." The students' expressions proved there would be no more quizzical glances adorning their faces in "their" Professor Spalding's class. Don A.
