a newspaper clipping stating that
their relative William Cullen Bryant
,Culp of New York city has entered
intp his 41st year at Columbia college.
New York. He has taken nearly all
of the courses offered by the institution
and his only concern is that in
the course of a few years there will
."be nothing left for him to take and
.he will have to leave college. A number
of degrees have been awarded to
"him and the other students have
dubbed him the degree of "Doctor of
Perpetual Motion" because he keeps
on coming year after year. The why
of it is that when he started at college
a rich uncle agreed that he should re- I
ceive an annuity as long as he went
to school and William has been going
to school ever since and drawing the
annuity.

way the surgeons speak of the probability
of being able to save the injured
