...freshman was currently believed to possess no rights which an upper classman was bound to respect. He was despised and rejected. He was the hewer of wood and drawer of water for all his sophomore neighbors. He was regarded as the legitimate and proper object of all manner of "cussing," in dignity and torture. He was hazed. He was smoked out. He was dragged from his bed and given the pump bath. He was caused to mount his table and entertain his visitors with unspontaneous oratory, narrative and song.

The plan which they present to the public this morning is no paper scheme, but one based upon something firm, with every probability of a successful outcome. It is a plan which will give the Tennis Association a place in the regard...

The fame of him preceded by several months my actual introduction to him, so that my imagination had time to picture him in all manner of portentous guises. The gentleman to whom I refer was an undergraduate, and at that period a sophomore. He was commonly spoken of as "Bill Blaikie," and his claim to my reverence lay in the fact that he was the typical strong man of the college. I doubt whether...
