On arriving at Syracuse, the four students were arrested and confined in the police station...
...green necktie. Many wore nigs of the Bunthorne style, and each had two or more large sunflowers. They created much amusement when they marched up the aisle in their limp and languid manner. We are happy to be able to state that during the whole performance they were very quiet and orderly - much more so, in fact, than many other portions of the audience.
