ELLIOT DOFFS PROFESSORIAL DIGNITY TO SEPARATE CARS

An undergraduate came out of the Indoor Athletic Building recently, leaped into his Ford, and started to drive merrily away, only to become entangled in the fender of a cuddly Plymouth just ahead.

The Ford went into reverse; the Ford went forward, but the two cars still clung together lovingly. The undergraduate, in desperation, looked around for help. At that moment up stepped no less a personage than William Yandell Elliot, professor of Government, and adviser to President Roosevelt. Scanning the situation with a keen, academic perspicacity, Professor Elliot concluded that only one measure would do the trick--manual labor.

Not even pausing to remove coat or hat, Professor Elliot bent his back to the task, and assisted by the driver, another passer-by, and Jim Curwen, swimmer extraordinaire, saw to it that the entangled fenders were released.

With a curt nod of "you're welcome," Professor Elliot strode away, across the street to Lowell House, where he is said to be a tutor.
