Keen in Class
Published Jan 01, 1900
On his first day of classes at a university, a student took a front row seat in a literature course. The professor told them they would be responsible for reading five books, and that he would provide them with a list of authors from which they could choose. Then he ambled over to the lectern, took out his class notes and began ... "Baker, Black, Brooks, Carter, Cook ... " The student was working feverishly to get down all the names, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. The student in back of him whispered, "He's taking attendance."
