A Princeton Student’s Wit.

An ingenious and amusing answer was recently given by a student 'in the natural philosophy class at Princeton University. An instructor gave the question: "Define transparent, translucent, and opaque.’’“1 cannot, professor,” answered the student, “precisely define these terms, but I caif indicate their meaning in this way: the windows of this room were once transparent, they are now translucent, and if not gleaned very soon, they will be opaque.”
