From the first minute of the second period there was no question as to which was the better team.

Thus do the wily coeds, whose actual intelligence measures but 25 on a scale of 100, compensate for a ten-point deficiency in intellect, and extract grades equal to those attained by charmless male students whose measure of intelligence on the same scale is 35. Authority for this condition is Dr. George Thomas, president of the University of Utah, who lately cautioned his faculty members to guard against such insidious...
