After the sophomores had got into the room the freshman asked what they wished. "Oh, we have come to put you through," was the reply. The freshman told them they had better not attempt anything, but they scornfully refused to listen to advice from a member of a lower class, and made a rush for the youth whom they took to be green. With a blow he laid one of the bold sophs upon his back. In the melee that followed the light was overturned and extinguished, when the freshman grasped a chair and the sophomores were compelled to beat a hasty and disastrous retreat. The next morning the freshman was called before the president of the college, who inquired the cause of the disturbance in his room the preceding evening. The freshman narrated the circumstances of the case very minutely, and the president listened with the greatest attention. When the freshman had finished, the president said, "And you cleaned them out?" "Yes," was the answer. "I congratulate you upon your success," said the president as he took the boy's hand and gave it a hearty shake.
