If that isn't irritating enough, nature sometimes steps in with a sterner warning-like the lightning bolt that struck the Philadelphia plant one Monday (deadline) night, knocking out the power supply.

Moreover, the greatest measure of his efforts goes unnoticed by students and faculty alike. The precious meat for the dining halls, hot water for the Houses, the fire in Thayer, the repair to Memorial Hall, and the installing of sanitary facilities for the veterans' housing units-all fall within the daily scope of his activities.
