defenders of the faith, but He laughs the best who laughs last — only four out of the number were Freshmen spoils, and the rest had been strung up for effect. Oh, 1903! Helen W. Arny. IGatttmt £ m% Tune — Old Oaken Bucket. Words by Margaret Ullman. We stand here to-night, and we sing of our glory, And pride in our lanterns that ever will last ; And sometimes we think that a glimpse of the future Had come to that savage in ages long past, Who first struck a flame from a flint and a boulder, And sheltered it round with a leaf from the blast. He never expected his blunder perfected, In our Bryn Mawr lantern of 19-0-4. When several years backward, the first class of Freshmen Discovered the wonderful light of Bryn Mawr, They passed it unselfishly down to the future, Who gathered to find it, from near and from far. And now you are handing to us the bright knowledge, And we cannot tell you how thankful we are, Though darkness should hide us, our lanterns will guide us, Our blue Bryn Mawr lanterns of 19-0-4.

attbij jnmt ' .fj thht N Tuesday, October 23rd, from 3 to 5 P. M., Caps and powns will be distributed in Denbigh Student ' s Parlor. Jrhe price is $7.35 which must be paid before caps and .gowns can be obtained. Please bring exact change. [Signed] E. T. Orlady, Treas. So read the notices which announced the arrival of our caps and gowns, and from three to five p. m. an eager line of gullible freshmen, with exact change, went in and out of Denbigh Students ' Parlor. Outside of the hall, just underneath the window, stood groups of Sophomores, waiting to help the Freshmen home with their bundles — dear, good, sacrificing 1903, and the fact that there were some Freshmen who consented to be helped for even half a minute, only goes to show that Freshmen are trustful children and Sophomores innately deceitful. Some over-zealous in the pursuit of General English, went to the Reading Room in Taylor, and carefully put the treasures ■ on the chairs next to them, while they delved into Younger Eddo or .Origin of the Aryans, and after an undisturbed hour sat and rubbed their eyes, wondering who could have been cruel enough to take their gowns. Be it said to our credit, however, that only a few of the Freshmen who ;met behind Merion that night were in borrowed regalia. A Freshmen ' s ardor may be dampened, or temporarily checked, but never entirely destroyed. This is as much an axiom in the Science of Freshmen as the law of Freshmen gravity toward the hero of the Sopho- more play, and the truth of the statement was proved on Cap and Gown night, if never before. One hundred shivering Freshmen stood in front of Denbigh, in spite of a drenching rain which warped one hundred new mortar-boards, watching the procession of lanterns from Pembroke Arch, and wondering, as they listened to Pallas Athene Thea, if anything else would ever seem as beautiful. Later on in the evening, some Freshmen, tense with excitement, battled nobly for their academy ' s Insignia. Water and chickens in Pembroke West, blocked transoms and broken step-ladders in Pembroke East, all-night vigils in Radnor and Merion, all bore witness next morning to the terrible struggle that had taken place. But the real moment of supreme triumph for the Sophomores and chagrin for the Freshmen was immediately after chapel next morning when thirteen caps and gowns, hung on a clothes-line between the third floors of Merion and Denbigh, flippantly flapped until cut down by gallant Freshmen
