CROSS-WORD PUZZLE MAY INVADE TIGER CURRICULUM

The cross-word puzzle craze has gained such popularity at Princeton that Professor R. K. Root of the English department has suggested establishing a course in English vocabulary using cross-word puzzles as the textbook.

Explaining his suggestion, Professor Root said: "At the end of each term would hold a three-hour test consisting of three of the most frightful puzzles ever invented. The possibilities are equally great for the classics or history departments. Imagine a cross-word puzzle made up entirely of Latin words. Cross-word puzzles consisting of biological or chemical terms could also be used. In that way the perpetually bored student could find interest in his work."
