...ladies in their rooms (there it is again!) without a chaperone only if there are two or more ladies present." This not only answers the old riddle, "When is a lady not a lady?" (Answer: "When she's a chaperone"), but flings a challenging glove into the ladies' very teeth, Females have never treated with much respect man-made rules intended to control their activities. Mark our words, until this restriction is removed, there'll be breaking and entering on the part of single, defiant misses, till the students scream for help. Far-sighted, clear-eyed youth--no wonder they...
Much of the uncertainty over the status of Australopithecus was due to his extreme youth. He was not more than six years old when he died. The jaw contained 20 milk teeth, four permanent teeth. Dr. Dart placed him at the base of the human evolutionary stem. But Sir Arthur Keith, while admitting certain manlike features, put him on the same branch with gorillas and chimpanzees, though on a separate twig.

Such appliances or agencies as the chiropractic tables, hammer, towels or other instrumentalities which are clearly sanitary do not violate the statute, but the use of various therapeutic agencies, such as electro-therapeuty...
...Attic after a day filled with bustle but productive of no visible results. How much of his college life has been precisely like today! Wake at three minutes to nine--too late for his first class--toss till quarter to ten when up and a hasty brushing of his teeth and a poor shave with four bad nicks to staunch with stypic pencil. To breakfast at Waldorf, and two hours to kill before the twelve o'clock. A dash into Widener and check the bibliographies on Fenimore Cooper. A dash to H.A.A.--tickets for Dartmouth game. Back to his Attic...
