is, it's In his blood. a heritage from
remarkable ancestry.
President Hutchins made a micro

difficulty with an Irishman. This Irish
man wanted me TO fight another man.
and would doubtless have done so
but for the Intervention Of a Scotch
man. Before telling the brief story,
let me digress little. My fathers
grandfather was an Englishman; my
mothers grandfather was Scotch
man. Three OF my maternal ancestors
were respectively. Irish, French and
Dutch.
"As constituted, therefore, am an
Englishman, a Scotchman. an Irish
man, a Frenchman and a Dutchman.
And | do not mind telling you In the
privacy OF this company that | have

fellows. They quarrel among them

He wants me to work. He thinks
