COURSE IN DITCH DIGGING OFFERED BY THE UNIVERSITY

The correct way to dig in sandpiles is the latest course given by the University, complete with instruction and laboratory periods. The course is Anthropology 15a, a course in the field methods of Archeology.

The lab period consists of delving in a heap of sand to unearth a collection of bones previously planted there by an instructor. Once in a while the prospective ditch-diggers go farther afield for their exploits than their little piles of sand. Last spring, for instance, they excavated a colonial cellar in Concord.

Champion bone digger-upper is Henry Hornblower, Jr. '41 who has dug up more bones in more perfect condition in the accepted way than any of the other members of the course.
