OFFICERS for this term...
...second year of the Anderson School of Natural History at Penikese has been unexpectedly successful. The number of students was forty-six, that of instructors was twelve.

But, I say, this business was of some importance to me, and as I look upon this formula of assignation I am carried back to one hot summer afternoon when Sam and I stood on the steps of University eagerly scanning the bulletin of Freshman rooms. Lucky boys that...
