ing the night some mischevious students
had taken all the chairs from the recita-

chapel exercises though the eight o'clock
classes were obliged TO do without seats
AT the same time the old college skeleton
was unearthed from his resting place in
the Museum and made to drive wagon
full of trunks taken from the basement
of Pioneer Hall next morning, where it
remained until about 6:30 a. m. when
he iris caused it to be- driven to the
depot and the trunks deposited there.

by the aid of the drayman.

covered beforehand and part of the fun
