...morning, a few weeks ago, in my entry, which is inhabited principally by Juniors and Freshmen, the cards were found to have mysteriously disappeared from the board placed to receive them. Convincing evidence showed that some Freshmen must have been guilty of the deed, and the enraged Juniors resolved, if possible, to fix upon the man. It pains me to be obliged to relate their ill-success.

The last verse will be familiar to most of our readers...

The fact then came to light that of last year's Freshmen only thirty had become members; and these last really did not seem to enjoy any privileges from which the rest of the class were debarred...
