breaking in and interrupting it.
In some manner rumors reached
the college campus that the Freshmen
had migrated to the vicinity Of
Rurnham for their feast and imme-

the chase Only to find It false one.
1t was quite hoax on the second

purposely disappeared TO give the
impression that they had left for
their feast 1t was said that a men,
Der Of the Sophomore class even went
az far as to secure q Freshman cap
and go to the home OF the Freshman
president to ask where the banquet

were originally sung. faithful to the
old texts. For Iceland has n remark
ably rich literature Of it's own, both
written and oral, and poetry In es-
pecially adapted to tho Icelandic
tongue.
In Hofn IIornafjord. isolated from

mountains and seas that are often
too stormy to allow the passage of
the small Icelandic passenger ves-

settlers. In the long winter nights
there Is little to do. and the evenings
