Oh, how inexpressibly verdant he is ! One would think that after a year in Prepdom he would have lost some of the odor of new-mown hay. But it is our painful duty to say that such is not the case. There must be something wrong with the College sieve, for by far the greater number of our Freshmen are let through without enjoying a year of bliss under the watchful eye of our worthy Kindergarten teacher. But such as he is, he is. We have tears for his blunders ; we have sympathy for him when he is called up to answer for the misdemeanors of the upper class men ; and we hope that some day he will discard his emerald garb and emergo—a man. With his wide-brimmed straw hat, his short homespun jacket, his blue jeans which long ago said farewell to his monstrous brogan8, and are now separated from them by a strip of unmentionable red, he is certainly a sight never to be forgotten. He enters College and is at once made a participant in the busy whirl of College life. We hardly know our friend of two weeks ago, when we see him arrayed in his bran new uniform with big brass buttons, after he has had his hair combed, and perhaps washed his face. By the continual rubbing up against his companions, some of his sharp corners are rounded off and he begins to take on more of the appearance of a human being. lie learns more and more—strange to say—and by the end of the year lie is perfectly willing to give his advice free of charge to even the President of the United States himself. He studies various subjects and becomes indisputable authority on all of them. He reaches the height of his glory when he delves into the mysterious depths of chemistry and hunts for two solid hours for the II 2 0 bottle. He says “aqua ammonia is used for spiritual purposes by dentists and druggists,” and it must be so, for he said it was.
