The freshmen are also commanded not
to wear the college pin for the first six
months. The sophomore study must be
held sacred by the, first year girls and none
may enter it without first obtaining per-

Az a sign Of youth and general ignorance
all freshmen mist wear a bright green bow

That's what it was," said the wit

Mr. Neill's definition of "stink" was
this, when a thing smells so loud that
you can't call it SMELL then it is stink"
This sentence in the report was read
and questions asked, 'In a word, we
