Take the word of his old teach

of Amherst College, waa professor
in mathematics back in 1801 when
Mr. Coolidge, then 19, entered col
lege.
“He was class humorist
graduation day in ‘1)4,’’. says Dr.
Olds. “I remember well the humor
ous speebh he delivered in the
grove, giving full play to hia
tvhimiscal gift of language.
“It is the custom for members
of the alumni who are grouped
around to heckle good-naturedly
the efforts of the speaker to be
humorous. It requires mental agil
ity to keep ahead of their shafts
and sallies.
“I am sure classmates and mem-
ihers of the alumni recall how well
;he acquitted himself.”
