ADVICE TO FRESHMEN
AND SOME SOPHOMORES

In promulgating your esotcric
cogitations, or articulating your super
fetal sentimentalities and amiable
philosophical or psychological obser-
vations, beware OF plantitudinous
ponderosity. Let your conversational
communications possess a clarified
conciscness. compactcd conpre-
hensibleness, coalescent consistency
and concatonated congency. Eschcw
all conglomerations of fatulent
garrulity. Jojune babblement and
Alterations. Let your extemporanc-
Gus descantatings and unprecedented
expiations have intelligibility and
veracious vicacity, without h o.
domontadc or thrasonical bombast.
SeduIously avoid all polysyllabic
p r o fun dity, pompous prolixity,
psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial ver-
bosity, and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun
double-entendres. prunient jocosity,
and pestiferous profanity. obscurrant
or apparent.
In other words, talk plainly.-Ex
