Yale undergraduates were astounded on Wednesday by the appearance of the members of the Skull and Bones Society, with their badge pins on their breasts instead of on their neckties, where according to the old tradition they could alone be worn. Explaining this custom and the change, the New Haven News says: "Alongside of it has grown up a system of actions and many ways dubbed 'poppycock' by the college world at large. This found manifestation in many ways, all marked by an assumption of mystery and standoffishness in everything that related to the societies in any way, however distant. Of late years, however, a strong sentiment of opposition to 'poppycock' has been steadily developing. Among undergraduates the opposition has grown very quietly. In 1884 it was at its height. The Senior Class in that year held a class-meeting to protest against it. Among the present Senior members of Bones there had grown up during Junior year a strong feeling that 'poppycock' ought to go. Some of them told their intimate friends during the week before they were initiated into the Society that if they could bring it about after their initiation they would banish 'poppycock' forever. This displacement of the pins from the neckties is looked upon by collegians generally as the first stepin this direction.- N. Y. Evening Post.
