Some one in Scandinavia unearthed
the report of the examiners on Dr. ID-

sation, moderate: Greek bad; arithme-
tic, bad German. very good; French
good; religious knowledge. good; histo-
~ and geography, good; Hebrew, good
geometry. good. General remarks: A
young man not to be despised.
In spite of many goods" however,
lbsen was plowed owing to his deficien-
cies in Greek and arithmetic. He as
PRED in those days to be a pharlnaceu-

examiners, had to seek some other open
