College girls have language of their
own that is not contained in the ologies
and isms of student life.
That use of "grand" at Vassar col
lege spread like contagious disease
few years ago. Everything from new
gown to the award of fellowship re-

That was season of grandiloquence in
other respects also, for no entertain

at the college. If you went to the senior
parlor in response to an invitation to
'ball, you would probably find that
some one was serving tea.
Both to Vassar and to Yale belong
the word "stunt," but it is used in
quite different senses. At Vassar it
means peculiar trick that belongs to
certain individual. At Yale it stands
for any idea or plan.

Yale men "grind" or "bone;" where
