They have been full years, wrought with months of steady exacting - work, but to quote him. they have been years of happiness and contentment. And why not? Plis whole life’s work is here. The cam pus has been his world and he has scratched the mark of success deep upon its face.

He is contented be cause he has accomplished the pur pose for which he fitted himself. Twenty-eight years ago he entered college inspired with the idea of be coming a professor of Physics and he has steadfastly striven toward:) that goal. He received his degree ir Physics, both B. A. and M. A., fron? Indiana University, and later secured his Ph. D. in the same subject, from the University of Chicago. His teach ing experience was obtained under Professor Ferry’of Purdue University in Pennsylvania, and in 1916 he en tered A. and M. to take over the position he now holds on the faculty. He and the members of his staff, since that date, have built the Phy sics department into one of the most efficient departments on (the cam pus. They have constructed a model building and equipped it with over S30,000 worth of the finest of tech nical equipment, designed to illus trate nearly every law of Physics. “Doc” himself demonstrates these “Laws of the Universe” with his me chanical appliances, every Monday morning. Monday lecture is “Doc’s” favorite class. Pie enjoys every mo ment of instruction and even the en tertainment that he affords his stu dents. He is perfectly at home in the lecture room behind his big black topped desk, surrounded by push-but tons and levers and switches, ex pending theory, simplifying long equations and proving his conclusions beyond a doubt by material demon strations with his laboratory equip ment—which never fails—but “does it every time!” Cover Charges Now Popular in College Cafes Customers Pay for Enjoyment as Well as Food. The cost of education at Oberlin College has advanced, and college students are wondering what to do about it. For years a gentleman from south ern Europe, whose last name is not pronounced, and whose first name is Mike, has run a restaurant near the campus, where men students would come and spend the evenings in warmth and joviality, listening at intervals to the notes from an au tomatic orchestra. But Mike has decided that his place should be more than loafing headquarters. Recently, students who wandered in found cards on the tables, announcing: “flereafter a cover change of 5 cents will be made for all those not ordering any food.” | CADET HEADQUARTERS I For the best Eats and Drinks.

By re moving the taper and putting on the Pocket Cap you restore it to a Pocket Duofold on leaving office or home. Thus every owner of a Parker Pocket Pen owns half a Desk Set. Getting a Desk Base completes it. We now include pen taper free with that. 'Ou’Kl And to every buyer of a Parker Desk Set, we now give a Pocket Cap with Clip.
