HERBERT EUGENE BOLTON AN APPRECIATION HERBERT E. BOLTON was 82 on Sunday, July 20, 1952. He died January 30, 1953. But let no one make the mistake of saying my friend was ever old! While enjoying a chat with the vivacious professor not so long ago, I remarked: "Bol­ ton, what's become of all our friends and as­ sociates? As I look around it seems as if our contemporaries are all dead and gone." Quick as a flash he came back at me with a sharp "No! My real contemporaries are aged 28! When I hear anybody talking about being old, or acting that way, I don't like it—my contemporaries are 28." Happy transposition! Reverse the position of the digits, and lo, instead of 82 you have 28! Simple as that. Cast aside the deceitful calendar, adopt the mystic figure!
