About this same time we located the two graduate astronomy students in New Mexico. Both now had their Ph.D.'s and held responsible jobs on highly classified projects.
It was this desire to get back to the old simplicity of life that drove her so often to her brother and sister in their cramped boarding-house. "Why don't you read some improving books," said Jean primly. "I wish I had your chance. If Mrs. Jarvis had taken a fancy to me I'd be a Ph.D. some day." Elizabeth regarded her in silent wonder.

I want to earn enough to get married on, and Ph. D. means advancement." Professor Endicott assented dryly: "That is undoubtedly just what it means nowadays.

"My dear sir, Mr. Pater was the most immaculate genius of the nineteenth century," lectured Dr. Mittyford, the cultured American, severely.

A natural golden blonde, just chin-high on me, and cute enough to earn her way through a Ph. D. doing modelling.

He was delirious, it is true; but nevertheless it expressed, though indeed in a very exaggerated form, the way he had of thinking I was somebody!
The end of college education to the majority of students and parents is to secure a degree, and a degree is valuable only to the man who needs it.
