Of the British yards in building new

"During one month the number Of wal

Prof. Henry r. Longdon, head of the
department Of German in DePauw uni

rid Of him. he would not use any elec.

was taken more as a joke than other
wise. but Professor Longdop has stuck
to 1t faithfully. A few days ago Prof.
A. F. Caldwell. another genuine ALL

regarding the resolution. and inquired
whether he was using any lights. This
