(Special to Guardian)

LEXINGTON, Ky.. Dec. 2. - A course ill cross word puzzles has lncn added to the curriculum at tbofhlilegc of l-Ingiuocrlng, Univer- sity of Kentucky, it was announced today by Dean F. Paul Anderson. Anderson says his opinion is that trruss word puzzles arc educational, scientific, instructive and mentally stinlulative, as well as entertain- lng. His senior students there- fore, will hen-after spend part of their slllfiy periods ill attempting to solve the squares.

Anderson claims the Univursily of Keritucky department is the first in the country to institute such a class. liis support of the puzzle feature as all aid t) his pupils was given by Antlursolt as follows:

“Several weeks ago when l ut- lended an educational meeting in New York city. at which university and college professors, scientists, doctors and numerous other pio- fesslotiai men were represeutei. I was literally dumbfounded to see the great number of these men with newspapers opened at lhu cross word puzzle section, attempt- ing to solve the puzzles. , Every place I turnod I was confronted with the sumo scene. until l (lee-Ed- r-d lo investigate for myself. l 'ditl. and realized that thvre was really a value, principally in dev- ‘iloping the mcuiory and recalling dimilerl “'0l"(I5 to fit into the trouble somu little blocks. Anything which serves to educate and devel- _np (he memory is educational, and for this reason l am taking one “ltuur- off the regular routine of class ivork and substituting in its place a class in cross word puz- zlc solution."
