JAMES WILLIAM ELDER
Arts and Sciences
Cumberland, Md.
"Jim" came here four years ago to learn
chemistry. If appearances mean anything, he
has succeeded, for in this, his senior year, he
was called upon to impart some of his knowledge
to "rats." He was successful in this undertak-
ing, as he was in all others. Such a fine fellow
can not do otherwise than get along well, and
we all wish you good luck and happiness, "Jim."
