Of old, section feeling found expression in almost spiteful rivalry, nowa- days the armies meet to joust merrily in the lists in spirited encounters of prac- tical jokes, and the race is to the wily. All sections join in the fun-except the pensive nun in Room '5, who is , A Content to sit serene, t Demurely telling her seventeen beads. Ah, wonder-seventeen! . The fun began with the disappearance of the Cake, the great, the noble Cake, presented to the Seniors by 1902 ', X, . 1 ' l on the occasion of the Llass- W ical Banquet.

RIENDS, juniors and fellow-suiferers, lend me your smiles! . I come to bury Triggie, not to praise him. The evilthat he does lives after him, And cannot be interred with his bones, So shall it be with him. The teachers say That Trig develops well the weakened mind, And makes new convolutions in the brain, Yet who but he hath brought the awful D, And bowed the head of many a weeping maid ? Did this in Trig seem virtuous or just? And yet our teachers wise did thus proclaim him, And surely they, if any, they should know, I do not say their judgment is at fault, But here I am to speak what I do know.- You all did hate him once, not without cause, What cause withholds you, then, from laugh- ing now, When his remains repose in death before you ? fOh, see the rents the joyous juniors made D And yet, alas! his squeaking shade shall rise From Tartarus to which we now consign him, Shall come again to plague the innocent, Shall come again to cloud the happy brows, Shall come again to blight the springing hopes Of those that follow after us, Ah, hark! E'en now upon the funeral air I hear February 151, 1901 The word Resurgam in a ghostly wail. Alas! 'tis true, for saith the poet not: For Triggie's battle once begun, Is sent by juniors ever on, Though battled oft, 'tis never won. But now that our trig exams are o'er, Let us no longer think of others' woes, For us no more relations of straight lines, Which are, in truth, but fifty second cousins, For us no more dread numerical values, Of gaping angles differing in degrees, I ,For us no more substitution of functions Which equal others, to be verified ,- No more, no more, for us, for us, no more! Shout loud and dance! Come, make the rafters ring, ' Rejoice, rejoice! Let them in future say: Quantosi1le virgum gymnasii magni, Campus egit fremitus! velquae, Hudsinone, vidisti Funera, cum tumulum praeterlapsus es re- centum.

Sensational plots against individuals have been frequent. One of the most thrilling was the great pretzel mystery. It Was thus: A certain damsel, an ex- ample of that mm awk , the dzlgnzjied Senior, left in her desk one afternoon- touching faith in humanity!--a large tin box of pretzels. The next morning Senior hall was crying for board-rubbers, the air was filled With lamentations for chalk that could not be found, and the professor hunted in vain for his bell. On investigation, the missing articles were discovered filling the space previ- ously occupied by the pretzels. It was natural to deduce that certain sinners must have consumed all of them, but there arose a report to the contrary, which declared that jus! five pretzels were spared by them. What became of these? There are five professors in Senior Hall. Did they find anything on their desks next morning? A ' Experience has proved the value of bulletin boards. The vandals espe- cially, whose profession is stealing the posters, will join in praising these useful articles.
