Prophecy

Strickland Gillilan of Washington, D. C. is a veteran newspaperman, onetime president of American Press Humorists, best known as author of the line: "Off agin, on agin, gone agin, Finnigin."

Big, booming Dr. Cassius M. Shepard of Columbus, Ohio is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon, a topflight amateur photographer and gardener.

Trim Arthur C. Johnson is editor and associate publisher of the Columbus Dispatch, president of the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society, a trustee of Ohio University.

Last week these three men had a simultaneous and peculiar attack of nostalgia when they learned that old Dr. Charles William Super, onetime president of Ohio University, had died in Athens, Ohio at 97. They had good reason to remember Dr. Super.
