YES, I am a Freshman. When I came here a few weeks ago, I was prepared to see a good many strange things, but nothing like what - But I anticipate.

The other afternoon I was going through the Yard, when I saw something that looked like a Summons lying on the ground. I had not had any Summonses yet to tack up on my door, and I thought that I could easily change the name, and then it would look just as well as if I had received it from head-quarters. So I picked it up. The document read as follows: -

"The Exhibitors of the Harvard Attorney will meet at 93 Thayer, at 7.30 P. M., Sharp."

A wild purpose seized upon my heart. At 7.31 P. M. I applied my left eye to the key-hole of 93 Thayer. The apartment was brilliantly lighted, and in spite of the smoke I could see pretty well. A number of men were seated around a table; the man at the head of the table was armed with a pair of shears and a yardstick; baskets of cigarettes and kegs of beer stood at various points convenient of access. Just as I had ascertained these facts, the presiding genius rapped sharply on the table, and said, "Gentlemen, the meeting will now come to order. I suppose we had better begin with the exhibitorials." The first exhibitorial, which I took down in shorthand on my cuffs, was as follows: -

But to the most casual observation it is evident that a Chinese pickpocket has an oily pigtail and a glass body. No one who knows anything about the matter will think otherwise. Therefore we are right and our co[n] temporary is wrong, Q. E. D., Ipse dixit." This exhibitorial seemed to make a very favorable impression, and was at once accepted.

When the applause which greeted the exhibitorials had in some degree died away, the exhibitor in charge of the Juvenile Department arose and proceeded to read: -

HOW I WAS SPANKED."I was very young then, and everything was green and fresh as it usually is. There was an old lady in the next block who wore slippers with" - At this point the violent sobs of the other exhibitors drowned the voice of the speaker, and I was unable to hear more.

When the exhibitors had again secured control of their emotions, the Prosaical Exhibitor read the following: -

"Ich sass allein im Horse-Car,

Und schaute dem Horse-Car entlang,

In Boston, Massachusetts,

Bei Mondesuntergang.

"Da sah ich ein schones Madchen,

Ach, ach, das verderbliche Loos,
