Senior Reflections NE evening I sat upon the chapel steps, not exactly thinking, that is I was not conscious of any effort, but my mind was filled gggliggal with ideas seemingly revolving themselves at random. The ' P95956 words spoken by Friar Bacon's brazen head in Marlowis play came to my mind, and for long I pondered upon their meaning. In the play the oracle spoke and its listener understood not the import of the words. D Time will bef' Time is, and Time wasf' Simple and yet full of meaning for Bacon and for me. Before coming to college I had looked forward with pride and joy- ous expectation to these days.

The rush came off with its usual bewil- dering suddenness, and usual display of what I then termed brutality. After that came foot-ball. All of the Fresh who could not play went that is, were sent to the field to be of general assistance, and after prac- tice to rub down the players.
