Paderewski, nearing 70, arrived look-ing tired and thin after his recent illness. He was accompanied by lank Ernest Schelling, a neighbor of his at Morges on Lake Geneva. He wore the characteristic Paderewski dress: ill-fitting overcoat, slouch hat, black sack suit, white waistcoat, low flannel collar, high button boots.

Evolution is, at best, a prolonged process, so for the present, the college must bide its time and wait patiently for the final drastic step of removing the little green hat, white button and all, into the outmoded customs of the past. For a time we must content ourselves with admiration for Palaeopitus for their wisdom and foresight in granting to the youngest children of Eleazer Wheelock some vestige of the individuality of the New Hampshire hills...
