table. Here is another: Dr. Robert Knox,
the great teacher of anatomy, began enc of his
lectures in this way: Gentlemen, there are
no text books L can recommend. | wrote one
myself but it is poor stuff. cant recommend
it. The man who knows most about a subject
writes worst upon it. If you want a good
textbook on any subject, recommend me to
the man who knows nothing earthly about the

text book on antony. We will have one soon,
however-ProfesSOr Monro is going to write
one. This Professor Monro was so lazy that
he was in the habit of using his grandfather
lectures, written more than hundred years
before his day, and students were electrified by
hearing him lin 1929 and lS3O) drawl out,

the signal for fun, and showers of peas de.

how his 'lordship' Il. c. his MASTERY was, an

dead, but the old servtOr was too cautious tC
commit himself, in his opinion, as to his con
ditiOn. Among other drinking anecdotes and
sayings is that of an old worthy who used tC
say, Whisky a bad thing" and then, as il
to qualify such dangerous sentiment, added
especially bad whisky"
