F. W. Thorold, class of 1900, on doing math in W. H. Ellis's chemistry class.

Text reads:

"There were an awful number of liars at the School in those days. When Doc. Ellis would endeavor to show us some complicated calculation in chemistry and would say "seven and three are sixteen and this added to eleven is nine" and would then turn to the class and say, "Is that right?" every man there would say "Yes, Sir."
