Students of To day
Perpetuate Ancient
Rites of Scholastica

In the class lights and esrushes''
which are in some places considered
a necessary part of the college pro-
gram, the students of to-day are per-
petuating the rites which formerly
marked the celebration of, st. Scho1-
astica Day. This festival falls on the
tenth of February, and was almost
universally observed by. students for
several CENTURIES. st. Scholastica, the
patron Of scholars, was a tender virgin
who lived in the sixth century, but her
fete day was usually marked by pitch
ed battles between students and town
boys
ST. scho1astfca's Eve, which falls
tonight, was a time of busy prepara-
ton in all colleges. The age-o1d RI
to be put to the test on the morrow,
and the students armed themselves
with clubs, Toasted, and offered pray
ers to st. Seholastica.
The town and gown" antagonism
while it still exists, has been softened
by the years, and is now confined
to the universities and colleges IN
small towns. Columbia, Pennsylva-
MIA, McGi1l or Johns Hopkins studs
for instance, may have reached the
sage conclusion that it would be un-
wise to defy the. populations of New
Y ork, Philadelphia, Montreal or Bal
timore. 1t is much safer to fight
among themselves.
In the good old times a ST., Scho1as-
tea festival in a college town in Eng
land was considered a tame affair if 1T
did not result in several funerals. and
broken heads were looked upon as a
matter Of course. One of the most
noteworthy of these old ST. Scholastica
battles took place at Oxford on Feb
TO-, 1854 The contest continued
throughout the day, and was resuml-
ed on the following day, The students
had the best of the Argument, but on
the second evening the townsmen call
ed in the country people to their as
sistance, and on the third day the
scholars were completely overwhe1n-
dents were killed or seriously injured
ard the undertakers and physicians of
the town also benefited largely by
this exhibition of college spirit
The Oxford auth critics were great
" incensed at the action of the towns
men in enlisting the aid of the rural
districts, and the citizens of the town
were debarred the rites and consola
lions of the church, and were SUBJ
jected to heavy fine. They were
also subjected to an annual penance,
to be observed on st. Scholastica Day,
when the mayor and sixty-two towns
men were required to attend services
in St. Mary's church and each man
to make a gift of one penny This
annual penance was enjoined for
ever,'' but it has long since been per-
nnitted to die out.
