7 axe MyWord for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Readers Corner.

Urbana: Colby, you're wrong.
Gen. Grant was not christened
Ulysses Hiram Grant. His name
was Hiram Ulysses Grant. Our his
tory book says that when he was at
West Point he didn't like the initials
H. U. G., so he changed his name
to Ulysses Simpson Grant,. S.
Answer: My article of a few
weeks ago was based on information
in Webster's Biographical Diction-
ary &C. and C. Merriam Coz which
states: "On admission to u. S.
M, A, West Point, registered under
his baptismal name, Ulysses Hiram
Grant; learning that his Congress-
man had entered him as Ulysses
Simpson Grant, he accepted this
name"
On the other hand, a later refer
ence to the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA turns up this version: He
was christened Hiram, with Ulysses
for a middle name. AS he was
usually called by his middle name,
the Congressman who recommended
him for West Point supposed 1t
(UlysseS) to be his first name, and
added thereto the name of his
mothers family, Simpson"
So, L. S., in your history book, In
Wehster's Biographical Dictionary
and in the Encyclopaedia we find
these contradictions:
1. He was baptized Hiram Ulysses
Grant.
q He was baptized Ulysses Hiram
Grant.
3. He himself changed his name to
Ulysses Simpson Grant.
4. His Congressman changed the
name to Ulysses Simpson Grant.
Q. A friend tells me that the
word mice" once meant rotten"
II this is true, will you please ex-
plain how the word got its present
meaning?-R. w.
A. The word evolved thus: Latin
nescire, ito be- ignorant; Latin
nescius, ignorant" Old French
nice, Ignorant. foo"; middle Eng
lish nice. foolish; stupid; ignorant;
lewd; lascivious; wanton."
Later, nice came to mean affect
