When Students Had to Get the Presi
dent's Permission to Smoke.
Imagine a twentieth century Har
vard undergraduate asking the presi
dent of the university for permission
to smoke or buy a drink. Yet permis
sion was necessary in the eighteenth
century, according to the history of
Harvard before 1750. Oue college rule
read:
"No scholar shall take tobacco unless
permitted by ye president with ye con
sent of bis parents or guardian and on
good reason first given by a physician
aud then in a sober and private man
ner." :
Farther, "No scholar shall unneces
sarily frequent any tavern or victual
ing bouse in Cambridge to eat or drink
there without leave from ye president
or one of ye tutors."
Another regulation read:
"If any scholar be guilty of drunken
ness be shall be fined 5 shillings and
make a public coufesson. No under
graduate shall keep by him distilled
spirituous liquors, nor shall he use any
such drinks as punch or flip."
Saturday evenings all students were
required to retire to their chambers at
sunset aud not unnecessarily .'leave
them. New York World. ,;
The Chief Justice. rf.
"There are very few people who
know the proper designation of 'the
man what presides' over the supreme
court," said the secretary of the sen
ate, "Generally be Is referred to as the
chief Justice of the United States su
preme court In fact, he Is the .chief
Justice. That's his official title. ' Most
of our presidents in nominating, men
for this office bave fallen Into the er
ror of giving him the long title. When
George Washington nominated Oliver
Ellsworth of Connecticut for this post
he described It as chief Justice of the
supreme court of the United States.
Andrew Jackson made the same error
In nominating Roger B. Taney., So
did Abraham Lincoln when be appoint
ed Salmon P. Chusa Grover Cleve
land was the first president to give the
correct designation. When be appoint
ed Melville W. Fuller be nominated

' , Size of an Atom. '
"Radium emanations." said Profes
sor William Crookes In a lecture in Lon
.don. "are due to the breaking down of
the atom of radium, and electricians
are constantly flying off with about
two-thirds the speed of light (182,000
miles per second). These electrons are
now looked upon as being absolute
units of negative electricity. To try
to illustrate their size la difficult Im
agine one drop of water magnified to
the size of the earth (9,000 miles in di
ameter). An atom would then be about
the size of a walnut or a cricket ball.
Now magnify the cricket ball or atom
to a cube of about 100 feet encli side
The electron would be about the size
of this dot (.(one oue-bundrcdtn of an
inch In diameter. The mind cannot
conceive such figures."

Lowe Entertains
High Dignataiies
Last Thursday D. M. Lowe and
wife entertained with one of their
far-famed "farm dinners" an illustri
ous company, consisting of Chairman
Roberts of the State Board of Horti
culture; Commissioner R. D. Hetzel,
director of extension work of the
Oregon Experiment Station; H. P.
Bateman, director of the Portland
Land Srow; Attorney Charles Rob
erts of Renco, Ore., chairman of the
committee on law. All were of the
Oregon Horticultural Soicety.
The dinner was characteristic of
good home farm cooking, and the
especial feature was that all the sub
stantial were grown or raised on
the Lowe farm.
It really requires a marvelous
amount of tact to appear thankful at
Christmas time for something you
don't want.
