 $. M. Brice, '93, the son of Senator Brice, of Ohio, himself a prominent graduate member of the D. K. E., was one of the first ten from his class. As an initiation measure he was dressed up in a short-sleeved blazer, silk hat, box ing gloves, etc. and told to walk in front of the grand-stand seats On his breast he wore placard, which said: "1 am Brice." During the intermission of the football game Brice passed his time in trying to walk the tight rope before the highly amused audience
 The Sears twins, Phil and Herbert, of the class of 's9. when they were initi- ated were dressed up as grcoms and put on the back seat of 8 dog cart, which was driven in town. They conducted themselves with due decorum, jumped down from the seat, touched their hats to the well-known society woman in the cart, held the horses, and did what any well-educated groom would do. A little later the same men were tied together and sent up Beacon street, Boston, dragging behind them a pair of toy dogs.
 George II. Norman, 's9, was leading society man while he was in college. When he went on the Diclkey he was dressed in knee-breeches and sent through the ambridge streets and the college yard, while he shouted in loud tones: sI am Rollo, the Danish idiot"
 J. B. Eustis, Jr., another '93 man, and the son of the ex-senator from Louisi- ana, was told to hold a banana in his mouth and march at the head of a Ger man street band to Beck hall, the swell Harvard dormitory, where he conducted | several popular selections. using a lighted cigarette as baton.
 The crucial test of the whole initia- ton and the thing which has aroused all the discussion is t.Ie burning In recent years the candidate has bet n told to bare his arm, and he is branded six times with lighted cigarette or cigar, Many prominent Harvard man has these six scars on his arms, and the baseball, football and crew men proudly expose them. They are regarded as ] marks of honor.
