The average freshman ctess couldn't have been more than seven years old. They seem more polite than in my time though ? several undergraduates called me "Sir" and one of them asked me if he could help me across the street. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I realize that my generation is approach ing middle age: (I define this age roughly as the period between 21 and 110) but there is no excuse for my classmates tottering into i a State of advanced senility. 1 ran int6 by old room-mate in the bar and he's changed so much i that he didn't recognize me. 1 "You've put on a little weight, I Oeorge", I said.
