In pursuance to that Resolution I now issue such a challenge. Hoping it may meet with favorable consideration, I am, sir,

WERE it commonly known that sitting on college fences is what is technically called a "Yale trick," there is no doubt the recently developed fence-roosting mania would cease to find favor in the sight of all respectable undergraduates.

A HUGE, half-clad figure was seen looming up a few nights ago in one of the windows of a college building not far from Holyoke Street.
