Stewart who expects to come back with the remaining members of 1852.

1910 FINALLY
 GETS THE FENCE Brilliant Grafton Delivered by Max Parry on
 Behalf of the
 Sophomores.
REBUKE FOR THE
 AUTOMOBILE CLUB
Declares the Fence is the Stronghold of the World known Democracy
 of Yale.

After having won the fence rush in February, at the time of the big snow ball fight, and not gaining the right to sit on 1t because they did not win the baseball game with Harvard, the mem bers of the freshman class in Yale last night were formally given the fence, with all its varied privileges, by the members of the class of 1909.
 The section of the campus iR front of Farnan hall was covered by the 1nem- bers of the two classes, as well as sem iors and juniors, Before the orations both classes sang "Amici," Brave Mother Yale" and other well-known college songs, concluding with the matchless As Freshmen First We Come to Yale" and both classes cheer ed the other.
 Max Parry of Indianapolis, who is the best orator in Yale, and who, act ing as Falstaff in Henry "" last year, as well as in the French plays, has attracted widespread attention, de- livered the address for the sophomores, knocking right and left in his wittiest style and closing with what men who have been long connected with such events say is the finest burst of ora- tory, with the best and most sincere sentiment, heard on the campus for years.
 L'Engle Hartridge of Jacksonville, Fla, received the fence for the fresh men amid great cheering and threw back as fierce bolts as the sophomore sent. Following the oratons the 1910 men occupied the fence. In closing his address Mir, Parry said:
 And now, gentlemen of 191e, since you have passed So well through the inferno of your first year, we are go- ing to lead you to our paradise and ask you to enjoy the privileges which we have tried to deresve. These rights cluster about tlle old fence, and the fence. stands for all that we possess of spirit or democracy We have fought on it, we have laughed and sung on 1t, and We have wondered what 1910 Is going to do for it. We cannot hope to tell you what the true spirit, or the true democracy of college life is. Per- haps, If you do not know 1t yet, you will feel it's full significance rush over
