These do not appear to have been
objectionable offenses in a band of
college boys too flushed with the first
sense OF untrammeled manhood to stop
for moment TO think of the un-
pleasant, II not dangerous, conse-
quences to others of their mischievous
acts. Priggishness and puritanism
were no more characteristic of the
plantation life of the South then than
1t is to-day. Most Of these youthful
students had been bred in all the open,
hearty. and liberal spirit of that life
They had been riding horses from the
hour they had possessed sufficient
length Of leg to bestride one: they
had been handling guns ever since they
had had the strength to lift stock to
shoulder and fire at a barn door From
their earliest recollection, they had
seen the full decanter standing on the
sideboard ready to give fillip to the
appetite OF every adult male member
OF the family before dinner was an
nounced. or to revive the cheerfulness
and renew the yigor OF tn guest Just
arrived. after long and fatiguing
Journey; they had been accustomed
OF the commonest diversions of the
drawing room, and from boyhood too,
they had been amused with the hu-
morous and sometimes indicate songs
with which the slaves enlivened the
tedious labor of the autumnal corn
shucking.
In their parents homes, they had
never sat down to the table without
finding 1t almost overloaded with the
different delicacies Of the planta ton
garden and the plantation pasture.
Was 1t strange that they sometimes
sought to diversity the monotonous
fare of the college hotel with the
tempting dishes and nagons of Kel-
lars more generous board?

Had he ever entertained the hope NJ
pursuing the entire course OF studies
taught in the academic department Of
the college, he knew that the fulfill
ment of that hope would make neces-
sary a sojourn OF not less than two
years. II. however. he expected to
remain only ducing one session. it was
a decided advantage to him that ne
would be subject to an elective system
which would permit him to enter at
once upon the studies which he pre-
ferred.
One sentimental drawback OF this
new system was illustrated in Poe's
Instance, as 1t has been illustrated in
the instances of many other men of
less distinction. The fact that a cur
riculum divides the whole body OF
young men belonging to the college
where II prevails INTO four distinct
eets-freshmen, sophomores. juniors.
and seniors-and requires OF them all
an attendance of four years before
their diplomas can be won, has an in
direct tendency to quicken their de-
votion TO the institution while they
are still students. and confirm their
loyalty to II in after life. The MEM
hers of each class at each stage of
their academic course take part in the
same studies; they daily come to-
Eether in the same lecture hall: and at
the same hour daily sit round the
platform of the same professor. An
asprit de corps springs up even be-
fore the close OF the first year OF
their academic course. Each classman
becomes linked TO his fellow classman
by the comradeship which unites per-
sons who have passed through the
same experience together. been sub
tect TO a common test o! moral and
intellectual merit, and attained sue

thelr mutual aHectlon deepeneQ ana
made permanent. by the length and
consistency OF their personal associa-
tion and by the absolute community
Of their purpose. Naturally, their
sense Of moral and intellectual In
debtcdness to the college is very much
stimulated by the ardor and enthusi-
nsn of this sentimental class feeling
On entering the University of Vir.

unity and comradeship was proper
