Science Man Seeking Science Woman?

Accomplished scientist and poet seeks science woman for companionship.

About me: I am a man of the arts and sciences; as an undergraduate, I received high honors from the College of Arts and Sciences, and I have subsequently received numerous awards in both fields.

About you: You understand Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, vector analysis, and Sergeant Pluck's Atomic Theory. You appreciate the arts. You practice good personal hygiene.

About us: Frolic with me--in the dewy fields, in the Dewey stacks. By Saks or thrift, I shall purchase for you the finest silks. Short shrift, be gone! Wan? no longer. Want? No longer. I am content

with you

my queen.

Final note: You must be willing to accept my dog, Raw.
