Following '87 came "The oldest printing press in the colony," loaned by the Boston Globe. It was in charge of Messrs. Storrow and Elgutter, '87, the former representing a primitive Hollander with a long clay pipe, and the latter, a regulation Indian. Two men dressed from head to foot in red and adorned with long tails - printer's devils - kept the old press in operation, and from time to time distributed to the crowd fac-simile copies of the title page of Eliot's Indian Bible, with two little verses on the back, said to have been composed for the occasion by Rev. E. E. Hale.

As was appropriate, the representatives of the College Press followed this symbol of their handicraft. The CRIMSON led the van in the following order:-

1st Marshal, F. E. E. Hamilton, '87; 2nd Marshal, W. Barnes, Jr., '88; 3rd Marshal, J. Loeb, '88. 1st Lieutenant, L. McK. Garrison, '88; 2nd Lieutenant, J, G. King, '89; 3rd Lieutenant, R. T. Paine, Jr., '88. Sergeant, S. B. Stanton, '87; Adjutant, H. H. Furness, Jr., '88; Corporal, H. G. Perkins, '87. Corporal's Aids, J. H. Sears, '90; W. D. Clark, '89; E. J. Rich, '87.

The CRIMSON was represented by no distinct costume, but by the respective class uniforms of the editors, with the added distinction of a white sash over the shoulder, and a few insignia of the trade as shown in our initial letter above.

The following transparency was prepared with infinite labor by Messrs. Brewer, Garrison, Cogswell, Furness and Paine, and was borne through the entire parade unharmed, on the stalwart shoulders of two sable Africans. The transparency stood seven feet high, and was a correct copy of the chapel, the part representing the building made of pasteboard with the stone work sketched in, and the windows in stained glass,- formed a pretty sight. Below was a large transparency bearing the legends as seen in our cut; and, in addition, on the opposite side, a specimen sumons-card under the old regime, labelled, "The good old chestnut; " and on the end, comparative statistics showing the inroads of the diseases in question made during the compulsory system. The opposite side of the roof bore the motto - "College Cooler; Usual Term. 15 Minutes."

Mr. Loeb also carried a huge transparency in the shape of an ink bottle, with a pen protruding from the neck. It bore the legends, "Watch for the joke on the other side," and "CRIMSON Ink."

The beautiful marching order of the CRIMSON delegates and their inspiriting cheer, awoke boundless enthusiasm along the route.

Our sister paper, the Lampoon, followed the CRIMSON.

Her representatives wore the regulation Jester's uniform with terra-cotta noses to match. The marshals were Messrs. N - bl - and L - nt, '88. Some delay was caused by Mr. Gr - v - r's suggestion that all the officers should be reduced - to the ranks. This was happily smoothed over, and the jolly jesters bounded along, awakening many a merry laugh along the wayside.

The newspaper delegates were followed by a delegation of Puritans - a very well gotten up and correct costume: - gray knee-breeches, short coat and sugar-loaf hat, and a huge belt with a bright buckle. There were about thirty in all in the body, and they had a curious cheer, which woke the echoes.

These passed on before the "Washington Corps" - about a dozen men in blue swallow-tail coats and white small-clothes, and hose. They were supposed to represent a student organization of that name existing here in the early part of this century.

The Junior Class held next place in the parade. Their costume was the most effective of the class uniforms: a red coat with blue facings, buff vest crossed by a blue belt, buff knee-breeches and black hose, and a black and buff cocked-hat.

A special feature in '88 was a collection of benefactors of the college, each dressed in characteristic costume: some of these were Sam Adams, Count Rumford, Boylston, Gore, Hollis, Stoughton, Holworthy, Flint, Josiah Quincy, and the Indian freshman with the unpronounceable name.

The Salem Cadet Band and Drum Corps furnished lively music behind the famous benefactors, and they were immediately followed by the flambeau corps which preceded the Sophomore Class.

The illustrious sons of '89 wore a nondescript costume of grey cut-away plug hat, white vest, buff trousers and white gaiters, which a transparency explained was that of a "dude of 1833."
