Well, it is all over now. The great student parade has passed by, and on into the dusty column of college traditions. What man that followed the Harvard transparencies last night will ever forget the amount of fun that was crowded into those few short hours? It will be many a year before the incoming freshmen cease to hear of last night's exploits; and the tales that are handed down to future classes will lose nothing in magnitude, be well assured.

This festive turnout was guarded by several undergraduate spearmen and was followed by the band, lighted by more students, after which the club marched in column of fours. Behind the law men was a mugwump four-in-band on which were several Harvard men. This headed the Bohemian Brigade, of which notice was made in earlier issues of the week. A band of jolly looking vagrants, all of whom were labeled "Mugwump," to make sure that...
