respected his aloof bearing but out- side the classroom called him Kit ty."
 InnurnerabIe Anecdotes
 Innumerable were the anecdotes and traditional stories told of Kitt- redge's pointed wit. Once he star- tied a class of somnolent students by saying: There are three persons who know what the word Victor ian means--and the other two are dead"
 His pet peeve was coughing stu- dents and on several occasions he stopped featuring and left the class room with the remark:
 No one needs to cough. It's merely nervous reflex"
 Tn England on a research trip to track down an obscure point about Shakespeare, Kittredge ques- toned a "local antiquarian" but encountered "only piank ignorance" The antiquarian became angry and said: There's only one man who can tell you what you want to know. His name is Kittredge." For lectures he favored pearl- gray suit, wing collar, l1orldescript ties, usually obscured by his beard, and pince-nez glasses suspended on a gold chain that slipped in and out of little curtain roller" de- vice pinned to his lapel. Generations of Harvard m en waited futilely for the day Kitt- redge would snag the chain in his beard. It never happened. sKitt- redge always carried a spare roller in case of an emergency. Was Very Prompt
 Traditionally, he was prompt. His lectures always started at 10 o'clock in the morning. To be certain they never lasted more than the sched- uled time he began packing his books and papers several minutes before he finished talking, donned his hat, picked up hisumbrella and delivered his final word for the day as he passed from the lec- ture hall.
 Kittredge, after retiring, spent his winters in Cambridge near the college and bis summers here where he arrived for vacation three weeks ago. One of his closest friends was another legendary Har- yard professor Charles Townsend Copeland.
 Though he taught only a single course himsellf, Kittredge was al- ways willing to substitute as guest lecturer for others. However, un- dergraduates always speculated as to whether he would arrive for the extra -curricular work since he of- ten forgot about his appointment unless the professor in charge oi the course sent him constant re. minders.
 He often thought aloud during classes. One day he paused dur ing lecture, gazed momentarily al a blank wall and said:
 Nobody could ever tell what a woman thinks - not even Shakes peare."
 Stern in Classroom
 Stern in the classroom, he was not without sense of humor. He dabbled in poetry on occasion. Best known perhaps was his verse about the Harvard faculty.

 He said Britian's relations with Indo-C China had been most restricted since the collapse of France.
 Regarding Thailand," he said, "our policy is governed by our treaty of non-aggression with that country.
