ITEM III: We hereby will and bequeath to the Freshman Class the Hint that the way of the transgressor is hard and that if they follow that time-worn, but nevertheless safe policy of being seen 'and not heard until they reach the dignified position of Seniors, their careers as underclassmen will be made much more happy and joyous.
