COURIER, TUESDAY 25

This is probably the least known
 man in the class. He entered as Cheney and now, fortunately, graduates
 as Cheney. Having no intimate friends
 of either sex, he undoubtedly in the SC
 clusion and quiet of his room busies
 himself in the preparation of Clough'e
 speeches, whom 1 will now ask you tc
 put up.
 This, ladies, gentlemen and friends
 is Clough, one of Yale's great debaters
 In the last debate with Princeton he
 was one of the three men chosen tc
 speak against the income tax, but be- ing dazzled by the footlights he made
 an excellent speech in favor of it, which
 greatly pleased the Princeton men. Draw forth a derrick boys, and raise 1 up our classmate Dutch Cook. You needn't give him pull, as we under
 stand he came here well supplied with 1 them. His taciturn ways are ae- counted for by the fact that he once | remarked to a classmate that he knew he was a fool and kept quiet so as not
 to show it. Dutch is very fond of bill lizards, but seldom plays, as he says 1t | years Is to be pictured in Life as one
 of the prehistoric wonders of America. Put up Cox. This, friends Is Cox of
 Cherry Valley, New York, a survivor of the great Indian massacre of that place. For several years after enter ing college it was his custom to shave his hair off to find out if his scalp
 was still intact, He also did this on account of his innate hatred of flies. By presenting a perfectly bald pate
 to these annoying insects he prevented
 their alighting on his head without danger to them of slipping off.
 Let's see Ben Davis, When Davis first came to Yale it Is an undeniable fact that he was green. He says he wanted to come to New Haven because he said he would feel at home here. He remarked that there was an dld green here and a new one. The city kindly allowed him to be the third, He kept horse during freshman year, and had no board bill to pay for the animal, as grass, oats and other cer- calls sprouted and grew on him in such abundance that he was able to keep the horse on produce raised from him self alone. There is a story about the campus that Ben pitched a game once in his college course for the university baseball team. Whether this is true or not we are uncertain, but we do know that for years he has worn cap similar to that sported by the baseball players. This thing alone has brought him into great prominence in the eyes of freshmen.
 Put up the great unwashed. I refer to none other than Lindsay Dennisou. This man, fellow citizens, was chair man of the Lit. and winner of various literary honors. On this account and because of his great personal beauty he acquired big head--in plain terms he became weefully conceited. So Inn portant did he imagine himself that he purchased a music box and had it so arranged that when he entered his room 1t played Hail to the Chief" In summer he hires himself out to owners of sailing yachts, guaranteeing to fur nish wind at any time, day or night. Time and again he has blown into games where he was not invited and told the story of his life and how he never eats breakfast, but always takes an egg phosphate at the drug store. In conclusion. I might state that he Is baseball fiend and Is known to the college as king of the freshmen.
 Put up Dunn, A feeling of great horror comes over me as I mention this mans name. There are duns all through our college course, and to have one right here In our midst is indeed touching Thank heavens. he grad uates, for then surely one Dunn at least will have left these college halls.
 Put up Eggleston, Thie Is man of whom the class is unusually proud. Need I mention the fact that he is q member of Phi Beta Kappa? The very statement that we look up to him is proof of this. It Is Eggleston's boast | that he has only taken two Saturday | afternoons off since entering college | The rest of his time he has devoted to | study. A man who acts In that man nr you will readily see becomes lnti- | mately acquainted with the rest of the | class and has plenty of leisure to take | an active interest in the rest of uni versity life.
 Let's have Hank Farnam up. You
