...Year's or at best, early New Year's morning. Two years age the recess was extended to include January fourth, to the gratification of the entire student body, but especially of Westerners and Southernerss.

We may have a sound critical judgment and ability to cope with difficult problems, yet appear complete idiots if examined under some of the so-called tests. One cannot help wondering if there is any harm in not knowing what "ramie" is (to return to the Edison questionnaire), when an intelligent man can discover the information for himself from the nearest dictionary. If the fact had been a matter that concerned our well-being, we might have known it before...
