Tur MINT JtLEp FOREVER.
American Youth Leaves "A Fund for
IL at oxford Graduations

We had supposed that there was
nothing new to be learned about the
| mint JULIEN: that this delightful in
! stitution, fragrant and seductive, OF
| honored ancestry and of approved
performance. had achieved an aro-
matte notoriety to which neither
tpoet nor pundit could add wreath.
But. We were mistaken. It appears
that this bibulous refreshment. sup
posedly restricted to this country and
conceded to spring from the south
ern states is one of the honored ira
ditions at New College, oxford.
That New College is some several
hundred years old is one OF those In
ievitable English jokes that, as 1t
guide books, but the Introduction of
! the mint julep to its venerable halls
may be confidently placed some
time around the period when Dolly
Madison held the world in thrall
We are told on authority that it
leaped at once into popularity among
the undergraduates and We do not
affect surprise that such popularity
should have persisted in spite of the
fact that the young American who
introduced this nectar to the gods
who disport themselves on Isis died
before receiving his degree. 1t is, in
point of fact, this untimely tribute
to Bacchus which provided the OPP
portunity of perpetuating his wor
ship at New College. The young Am
erican, whose name. unfortunately,
can not be enshrined in this loving
memorial, bequeaSIed to his alma
mater a set of eXquisitely chased
loving cups, together with a fund
to be dispensed on every succeeding
! ST of June in the form of juleps to
deans and students in Common hall.
The anniversary is punctualIy kept
and the toast to the young American
so tragically identified with a ma
tional beverage, lacks neither for
honor nor solemnity; "dulce ct de
corum est thus runs the legend,
and the mint, unbruised and peren-
nial, unfailingly provides the sacri-
flee to his makeup. Louisville
