STILL RECORD "CUTS"
Filing
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will not be asked to present official absence cards to their instructors this year, according to a statement made by Paul B. Lawson, associate dean, this morning.

Acclaimed as Foremost Chemist,
E. C. Franklin, '88, Remains Modest
In an interview, a Denver paper quotes colleagues of Dr. Franklin, who say that he is one of the greatest chemists in the nation, and certainly one of the most modest. Dr. Franklin won his Ph.D. in 1930 for meritorious work in the sphere of chemistry, and yet says, "There's nothing I do that would be of any interest to the average person whatever. I just dabble some in a field that doesn't matter to the rest of the world. The ammunia I experiment with doesn't have anything to do with refrigeration. My work doesn't have any results at all. At least, none which you can put into common, everyday language. They say my work adds something to the knowls of pure chemistry—Well, perhaps so."
