In a Northern University, a year or so ago, the members of a class in Hebrew decided on making a presentation to their lecturer. In re. plying to the speeches of his t npils, the rtv areud professor was duly credited by a daily with the following utteranee : * Dr. X, in responding, said he was never so happy as when he was wita his lass,' etc. a sentiment which must have shocked tin unjo' guid until it was explained that the tj had been omitted in' class.'
