Planting a Blow on a Freshnian's Nose
While Restoring Order in the Campus.
The president OF Columbia College is
evidently determined that the campus sail
not be made the theatre OF any such Dis
graceful scenes as have recently been tOl-
Grated at Cornell and Yale under the name
OF "cane PUSHES" Whsteyer personal in
convenience this determination may cause
Or. Barnard is willing to bear, and a re-
cent occurrence shows that he disregards
his own safety in the discharge OF his
official duties. On Wednesday the fresh
men plucked up sufficient courage to bring
out changer" upon the campus and in
sultingly 10 flourish it in the faces OF their
natural enemies, the sOphOmores. Terrible
In their wrath, the sOphomores girde1
themselves for the fray and battle was
Joined around the hanger" which was
soon the ccLtrc OF group OF struggling
heroes. Like Greeks and Trojans fighting
about the body OF Patroclus, did freshmen
and sophomore tug at the much-cOy-
eted cane. The Olympians, however.
no longer take a iiendish delight in
the bloody struggles OF mortals, for
when the fight was at its hottest, when A
freshman hero, having smitten several
sophomores between The joints Of their har-
ness, was about 10 bear the trophy 10 his
tent, o presence more majestic than that OF
Ares or Ieus appeared In the thickest OF the
fight, and laid a warning hand upon the
arm OF the victorious hero. But he, blind
cd by passion. did not recognize the august
king Of professors and students, aud with
a backward sweep of his arm planted
blow upon the shoulder OF his venerable
superior.
How it then happened that the presi-
dents fist came so fOrcIbly into contact
with the nose Of the freshman that forth
with the latter bed copiously must be sung
by another. Presumably the presidents
object was TO restore order by gesture OF
authority, and such was the result, although
the gesture seems to have ended in an I'M
fortunate place for the freshman. The bat
tie stopped Immediately, and the wounded
