...doing nobly at college. The hereditary instinct is beginning to assert itself at last. He has joined the Young Men's Christian Association; has been foremost in every class rush and ruction; claims to have disabled permanently two sophomores, - and is himself a mass of bruises from head to foot. His popularity has so grown that all the freshman secret societies are after him, and he has, as I understand, already joined several. From his last engagement he sought his room with one pantaloon leg and his shoes and stockings alone remaining of the garments he had on when...

...freshman class, almost complete, enthusiastic and - fresh, - now made itself seen and heard. Its costume was the blue regimentals of a soldier of '61, and a rather effective uniform in the mass. A transparency at the head of the parade gave a cartoon of the "lone Indian freshman," of 1636," and on the other side, the fierce declaration - "Here we are, '90. Look out!" coupled with the calm assertion that "90 is the brightest class in many a year." A bulletin signed "C.
