Hoffman continues to be chief puzzler as well f" ryptograp as registrar at the College. The cryptogram expert, who has been working with word puzzles "for longer than I can remember," has been devising a daily brain- Hoffman. twister for the Centre Daily Times, since 1934. Although he still enjoys his avocation, other demands on his time and energy have often made him feel that he has served his time. "But every time I get ready to quit," he said, "some woman calls on the telephone and tells me how much she enjoyed doing the puzzles while she was sick. Then I 'decide to keep going. It sounds funny, but cryptograms are sort of a community service." Composing a cryptogram •is a lot easier than working one, ac- cording to Hoffman. He spends more time. he said, checking for typographical errors than he does in actually making the puz zle. Not all the puzzles published in the Centre- Daily Times are con ceived by Mr. Hoffman. More than 100 fans from all over the nation keeps his mail box filled with suggestions. Numbered among the contrib itors, most of whom are anony mous, are servicemen, farmers, tourists, students, townspeople, and faculty members. A man from Citronello, Alabama, used to be his best contributor, while the sister-in-law of Dean of Men Warnock at the College of ten sends suggestions from Illi nois. • Mr. Hoffman, who is a memiber of the National Puzzler's League, has also had puzzles published in the "Enigma", the League's puz zle book. Not only is he inter ested in cryptograms, but some times— just to relax he will compose a rebus or a puzzle bas ed on homonyms. • A previous hobby of Mr.-Hoff man was collecting match boxes, of which he has 10,000. • Mr. Hoffman has been regis trar at the College since 1922.
