Patriotism Rampant In a Female College.
Two years ago the faculty OF vassar

that, for various reasons, Washing

the day fell upon the last day OF the

It on Monday. and the young lady stu
dents Of Eassar felt ii an insult to
their patriotism to be Obliged to at

day. They resolved to protest against
this as a body.
ABOUT a quarter OF an hour before
breakfast that day a body OF students
assembled in the senior parlor, and
started in procession oyer the corri-

marched. America and Yankee

the time the procession passed out Of
the front entrance and over to the
presidents house there were 200 or
800 students in line. They saluted
President Taylor's windows with
Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Bluet' and hearty cheers for George

entered the dining-room to the tune oil
America" Quick and silent hands
had transformed the dining-room into
a glory Of national coIors. A chalk
line was drawn around the faculty
table, and a screen OF flags shut them
away from the patriotic ones who were
intent on celebration: The professors
were greeted as they entered the class
rooms with patriotic songs, and found
their classes all arrayed in SnnGay

as II just ready to leave the college
More than this, a poster for eyery
class was conspicuous behind the desk
The French poster announced: "QuI
