Dr. Arnold H. Anderegg, San Pedro, CA, relayed this reminiscence.
He received his PhD in 1950 under Dr. Roger Adams.
Students in the late forties had a mechanical method for
controlling the pigeon population around Noyes Lab. They would
use a long piece of glass tubing that a piece of chalk would
fit into, open the windows and shoot pigeons in the open quadrangle
between the sections of Noyes Lab. Saturday was when Dr. Adams
would show up in the lab. One Saturday, when Dr. Anderegg
was the "gunner", Dr. Adams came in, just shook
his head and said "nice afternoon boys".
