Prize Is Honor of Painting Class
Mineral on City Water
Tank.
HE intense rivalry which prevails
among the different classes Of

among the different classes or
students at our universities,
often resulting in fierce and dangerous
fights has led the authorities to insti-
tute contests in which the undergradu-
work off their superabundant
energy without damaging n another
too much.
Probably the most unique and orig
inal contest of this kind in America is
the tank scrap at Purdue University.
The scrap is between the freshmen"
and sophomore" classes, and Is one of
the greatest events of the school year.
Unlike most college battles, this one
takes place at the very beginning Of
the year, early in September, and Is
the only event of this kind INDUCED in
by the classes. The one scrap" is de-
cisive, no trouble ever occurring after
ward. Another unique feature of the
contest is that it always takes place at
night, and, instead of the usual nag or
color rush of other colleges, this one
takes the form of a tying contest. or
mimic war. in which each army tries
to make a prisoner Of the other A
better comparison would be a great
combined wrestling match, where each
contestant tries to throw and bind his
opponent, thus putting him out of the
contest. 1t is conducted much in the
same manner as the athletic games,
there being rules to govern every point
of the contest.
The object of the scrap is for the
honor of painting the class numeraI
on the city water-tank, the winning
class being allowed to paint its sign

manual m the tank, where it remains
until the next year.
The tank Is situated on a hill a mile
from the university. 1t is a very
prominent feature of the landscape and
is visible for several miles, so that
when a class places it's inner on the
side facing the campus and city it can
be seen by thousands of people.
The scrap" always takes place in a
small field surrounding the tank; and
although the ground is on a hillside,
and very rough and broken, is seems
to serve very admirably for the pur-
pose. The tank site is private prop
erty, but the company owning it has
turned it over to the students. Even
when the tank is r%epainted the nu-
neral is left undisturbed.
In the autumn of 1901 the struggle
lasted the entire night, and both
classes withdrew just before sunrise
because many of the men were so COM
pletely worn out that they we're I'M
able to stand. The ''sophomores,"
however. already had their numerals
on the tank. This alone would have
given them victory, for according to
the rules the class having its numeral
on the tank at sunrise is declared the
winner. The freshmen" knowing this,
sent two of their number to change
the figures, realizing that the ''sopho-
mores'' We're too nearly worn out to
offer any resistance.
The two Freshmen soon scaled the
side of the great tank and prepared
to obliterate the "~Sophomores' nu'
neral, and so bring lasting disgrace
upon the class. The second year men,
enraged by this insult, Bitterly cursed
their fate and tried TO think of some
means whereby the two Freshmen
might be .dislodged and the honor OF
their class saved. At last the leader
of the "Sophomores'' conceived a great
scheme. He rushed wildly to the
