First: 1 order and direct my executor to pay all just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my demise as may be convenient.

I also bequeath, to be divided equally among the members of the 1910 Board, a choice assortment of compressed evil wishes of a few disappointed people, the support of some of the faculty, some soul-stirring poetry and hair-splitting jokes, a great many bids from sundry publishing companies, a few Minutes of Meetings, the golden opportunities of Committee Meetings, the splendid opportunity for using one's brains, the difficulties encountered in obtaining jokes, stories, drawings, etc., and in getting money, several volumes on "How Not to Do It," many pleasant memories and abundant good wishes of many who gave aid in any way. Lastly: I make, and appoint the editor-in-chief of the 1910 Annual to be my executor of this my last will and testament; hereby revoking all former wills made by me.
