tcsies Between tho Glasses Most
startling Welcome for tho Freshmen.
People sometimes think that the coed
has a dull time. They fancy that she Is
overshadowed by her college brother
and showed into a corner or taken ont as
1t pleasos him. Such dreamers should
spend a week at Sage College II they want
enlightenment. By that time they will
conclude that II any girl is having a better
time than the Cornell 'co-cd" she Ia n sure
candidate for nervous prostration.
Early fall IL comparatively a dull time
at Cornell. With schedules 70 he arranged
and new courses started, even the most
jovial student finds intellectual obliga-
tons something Of a grind. Only a few
informal festivities break the monotony.
Sodas and pineapple Sundays at Chacona's
are too much q matter Of habit to be con-
sidered in the list of amusements. Also
Sunday nights at Sage College, whom the
Cornell brothers throng the p~arlors, and
overflow into the reception room. the cloak
room or any other room with corners where
congenial twos can discuss Plato and
primordial protoplasms or the latest college
gossip at will.
But from now until Christmas, gayety
will he the social watchword Of the college.
Fraternity dances. teas. entertainments,
receptions and theatre parties will be the
order Of the night. This gayety like Gaul
may be divided into three parts, exclusively
feminine gayety, exclusively masculine
gaycty. masculine and feminine gayety
mixed.
The exclusively feminine gayety is more
extensive han an inexperienced person
might suppose. Take two hundred girls,
more or less, and put them In a building by
themselves and scatter two hundred more
around the town and there Is material
enough for independent social life even II
the Cornell men do outnumber the 'co-eds'
five to ono
The classes exchange courtesies just
az they do in a woman's college. where
men only enter the campus on calling nights.
The sophomores started the ball rolling
last week Saturday with a welcoming en-
t%ertainment to the freshmen. The new
corners were invited to present themselves
at the gymnasium, by posters done in
ghoulish oolors and decorated with skele-
ton hands. At the gymnasium door they
were received by sheeted figures, whose
g%rinnins faces. smeared with phosphorus.

in the dim green light. When the fresh
men had been duly impressed the fun be-
gan, and merriment reigned until at the
end OF the evening the guests were lined
up In two rows on either side Of the gym
nasium and presented each with a lantern

soon. These are highly entertaining and
are usually thrown open to all he girls
