Dear Doc 1-This is All Fools' Day, and of course the Faculty has given us a holiday. Freshmen, I mean. You can readily see, therefore, that I have a little time at my disposal in which to tml you of Dear old Dickinson, and particularly of the heroic and illustrious deeds of our class. We are just two terms old, and consequently we are learn- ing to say good to muh and other nice things. just think of itl Next year we'll be big Sophs like Burkey and Sea- man and Davenport. Honest Injun, though, I'd rather be a Freshman at Old Dickinson than anything else I know of. My, how Baldy Coherence would scold if he should see that sentence ending with a preposition! Monty says that any lobster can readily see that a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with. There is undoubtedly very little Coherence and Unity in what I am penning, but I earnestly ask your indulgence-I am only a Freshman. I have been in a rather reminiscent mood all day. Many thoughts and visions of the past few months have been Hit- ting through my mind at semi-frequent intervals. Byron agrees with my ideas when he says, ' I have found our thoughts take wildest flight Ffen at the moment when they should array Themselves in pensive order. How time flies! It seems but yesterday when first I was told to take off my shoes, for I was standing on holy ground. QI was in a Soph's room.j just as soon as our train reached Carlisle some noble

He promptly begged my pardon, and said that he ought to have known that much, and that now he could readily seen his mistake. Many fellows extended me an invitation to attend a meeting of the Sophomore Band in the evening. You know I am very fond of band music, so I went. They asked me to sing, and I gave them Dear Old Girlu to the tune of lXIr. Dooley. How pleased they were! Never did I hear a.crowd laugh more heartily. Then they re- quested me to make a speech, and I made the most eloquent effort of my life. The rest you can imagine in the books you have read. I had to eat my meals from the mantle piece the rest of the week. On my way up from the depot that auspicious Septem- ber day I met a number of Sophomores. They were grand looking fellows, and. after shaking my hand, said we would surely bump up against each other later-and we certainly did. llaldy lietterer then took me into an office called The Department of Greek. There sat a man with a six- by-nine smile, who looked like the full moon. They said this was Jim Henry's office. How scared I was! He fast- ened his optics upon my cowering figure, expanded his smile, looked clear through me until he could tell that I had a hole in one stocking and two in the other: then he made four attempts to clear his throat, put his hands behind him and said, Don't be afraid: l won't hurt youf, Then he told a joke-the fellows say this was the one he told them- and everybody laughed. CYou have to laugh at a profes- sor's joke if you want an AJ Then he told me -how much he was interested in me. CI-Ie tells everybody thatj I said, Thank you, Mr. Henry, and everybody laughed. Next morning was Chapel. When we came out all the other students yelled for us. From this time our real his- tory begins. I-lad I the simplicity of an Addison, the power of a
