 probably remember reading in the pa per several years ago about the eight miles of eggs Commons bought. The
 first few miles were fair, but the last, though served as fare, were foul-thus
 proving the old saying that fair is foul
 and fowl is fare.
 Nourishment for the mind was pro- vided as abundantly as for the body
 There was the Lit which corresponds to the article of physical food known as the lemon-at least everyone was afraid to take it. There is the News which ev-'
 eryone reads at 8:SO and at 8:S1 won ders why. The Courant insists 1t Is still in the running" hence it's name. Be- fore leaving the account of our liter
 ary pepsins word should surely be said regarding that literary disease which broke out the late fall of Junior year. It seems it was an unexpected Thaw which started the monthly run ming. During It's brief existence the ex- cltement it caused was tremendous. Yellow on the ontside--in fact it was found every page that was read was yellow. It's checked career ended abruptly, whether because the checks failed or because coolness among the editors caused the Thaw to freeze up I do not know. However, we are moi entirely bereft of sensational pa pers-there is still the Record. No scar mangled Banner CT Pot Pourri of graf ters rally to it's sustenance. It mAin- tains itself solely on that principle of the American People, discovered by F. T, Barnum; their love of being fooled It fools the Freshman because he ex- poets to receive a funny paper; 1t fools the upper-classnan when occasionally it Is funny. One might say to the Rec- ord the remark the old minister made to Chauncey Depew-Why am I unlike goose? Answer Because you don't stuff a goose with chestnuts till it's dead
 The literary taste of the class natur- ally suggests that organization of eru- ditlon known as the Pundits or Phelps Whelps monthly meetings are terrific orgies. They begin with cook Trails of Wayslde Inn'--but end with something more "cordlalp It Is only natural, however, that they should con- sume great quantities of thirst quench- ing fluids, considering what dry read ing they do. Literature is only one of the interests of this talented class there is politics, a source of interest since Freshman year, when we receiv- ed our first lessons in Ward" poli- tics.
 It was not till the spring, when sav- in Rock was opened that we came in contact with the city. On one eventful night several members of our class went on a game at the Rock. Just what happened Is not definitely known, ex- cept that they spent one-half the night one side the bars and the other half the other side, and on returning to their rooms the next morning told us the game was "celL" This naturally ere ated interest in the oity government resulting in the most prominent Chat is in their own estimation)s political or ganization in the class.
 But why do | waste time on this puffed up City Government Club! There is but one political club of importance --"The Hearst Club" Ask any New York man what defeated Hearst's cam paign and he will tell you the majority of the voters withdrew their support of him when they learned from the Yale Hearst club what, he was. Did they op- pose his campaign in long speeches? No-they wished to reach the mass of the people-they must be brief yet forcible. ''WTho Is a lemon, lemon who Is lemon, lemon, who is a lem on? Willie Randolf Hearst" And the campaign was lost. Hearst, rnistaking the ideals of the organization, sent them a check for their campaign fund. This money was of course derived from the saloons by way of Tammany Hall and so should be returned post-haste to Tammany Hall, by way of the sa- looms. It was.
 Senior year for most of us began the last of September, yet certain of our class unable to wait for it that long, were here in August, though their be- havior from what.I hear was anything but "august." Now, Win, why do those boys want to carry on so?' found two of them on the new library trying to take the owl for lark just spoke to 'em and instead of taking the bird they give me a cheer. You know me, Win, be nice and easy with the boys and they treat you right. Now and then you get an ugly one like that fellow Jones. For God an he want bigger 'an 1 am I would hit him. Yes, I would. Taint right
 Football, as formerly was the para mount issue of the fall. What a career that poor game has had. First played on gridiron-what Is more natural than it should get roasted" Then they marked the field in squares, but nobody would play the game on the square" so for time 1t had a 'cheok- cred" existence. Now they've ceased to care how the ground is marked for the largest gains are thro' the air and vic- tory rests with the team that goes up in the aar first. Yet with all it's faults, let us recognize football as powerful influence for good in our university. It is the most democratic force in Yale. It not only binds the students of this university to each other, but to other universities. Who Is there here who will not admit that this years game with Princeton bound us to that university
