The kaisers edict will not prevent dueling at
Bonn, however. There are still other corps, each
with its distinctive name, cap, rules and regula

seldom exceeding 80 or IS; and to join one of the
better known ones is much sought honor The
object OF those clubs is to all appearance of a
convivial nature, as beer and wine drinking enter
largely into their ceremonial observances but
they are really to promote camaraderie and to
