The student is allowed small which has been wokred out by his ad- "ade up. The slips must also be signed before the student can join any of the classes. This system has facilitated the working out of the courses the engi- neers take. The necessary dove-tail- ing of all the courses make it neces- sary for certain courses to be taken at certain times. If the eselection the} student makes is possible, he can find out through this system of telephon- ing without changing all courses; when one cannot be taken. The auth- orities believe it has been a greatI time-saving device, and all praise its worth, and also Its originality. Professor Ziwet (Continued from Page Nine) about Professor Ziwet is his versatal- Ity," says Assistant Dean George W. Patterson, of the engineering school, who has been a friend of Professor, Ziwet since 1889. "There is not al thing you can ask him that he is not well informed on. He reads practic- ally every worth while English book that comes out. Art, music, drama, all interest him, and he has an inti- mate knowledge of them all."t "French, Italian. Ge Polish, and English, are languages that he speaks. read Latin and Greek as read one of our own books, an well acquainted with the histox these races. Characters in hist are like friends to hini, for he know them all intimately through thorough study of them," continued Dr. Patter son. "For instance, one time I wam asking about a woman of the court o Louis IX, and he told me all abou her, her name, her position, her faim ily. Another time we were speakini of a quotation in Greek that was hard to translate into English. He trans lated it, and then went on to telline' where it was found, who wrote it, am on what occasion it was written. Pro- fessor Ziwet's knowledge of things'ir general is marvelous." That Professor Ziwet is a scholaz is attested to by the list of books he has written. Among them are: The- oretische Mechanik," a transiatior from Russian into German of a book by 1. Somoff, "An Elementary Treat- ise on Theoretical Mechanics," part 1 "Kinematic," part 2, "Introduction to Dynamics, Statics," par4 3, "K.ine- tics. real pre-Volsteadian bar, with a brass' rail, an old mirror and everything else but. . .
