Hey Larry, I appreciate the encouragement. I don't mind being misled if it makes me feel better! :lol:

Chemistry class was an ampitheater with over 400 students in it. Prof had to use a sound system to be heard.

There were more students in my chemistry 111 class than in my entire high school.
Dr. Hunt was a legend. A typical 50 minute lecture contained 10 minutes about the virtues of Hereford cattle (he was a successful breeder of horned herfs), 5 minutes of jokes about folks south of US 40, 5 minutes of stories about Purdue sports legends and how Doc made sure they passed chem, and 30 minutes of Chemistry.
The first lecture, a student made the mistake of falling asleep in the front row. Doc never stopped talking, but through gestures he had an assistant fill a 500 ml beaker with water. Still talking, he walked over and emptied the beaker on the unlucky sleeper. Priceless.
