alleged theft of cats for the dissect-
ing classes at the Wellesley college
laboratory, and the crusade has in
volved the name of Prof Albert p.
Morse, we'll known here as instructor
of summer nature classes for the last
two years. Among the disappearing
tabbies of Natick was $3.50 pet cat
Sniffles," whose body was found on
the dissecting table at Wellesley.
The Wellesley janitor pleaded guilty
to cat stealing and was fined $l5,
but official attempts to implicate any
of the college authorities has failed.
Professor Morse's friends here, where
he has interested so many children
in bugs, birds, butterflies, reptiles
and things, will never believe that
he has secured his supply of cats
other than in legitimate way, and
will stand by him to the last boy and
girl.
