fUN!OR HISTOR YI In further notice of the characteristics of this class, be it sufficient to say that it possesses remarkable affinity for uniting with '93 in the formation of various compounds. This property was first discovered by some mem- bers of '93 in the fall of 1889 in their celebrated experiment ofa cane-rush with '92. Though greatly outnumbered, '92 held her own. This phenom- enon was observed later by Dr. B. before the new college, where he also acted as director in the experiment. Though again outnumbered by a class that in mere numbers almost doubled our own, we held the cane. It will be seen, therefore, that our relations with other classes have always been most cordial. This fact will be more fully brought out in what follows. In this last experiment it was conclusively shown that a sponge and water'will not remove paint from brick. Right worthy '93 arose for breakfast one fine autumnal day, when, lo! he glanced up to the new building tower, where hung, between earth and sky, a banner with the strange device of '92. Straightway he swears within himself, I will neither eat breakfast nor do anything else until that banner be removed. I-Ie rushes to the tower, examines the situation, and finds the banner placed just where it is hoped to place a clock. Fire is put through the opening in the wall and '92 goes up in smoke. Great was '93's triumph. Scarcely a week had passed. Again '92 floated to the breeze. All- verdant '93 cried with a loud voice, The same old chestnut, and forth to the tower again. Again '92 goes up in smoke. But look! As smoke and flame are cleared away, behold that mark upon the tower! A 9 is it? No, '92. With the sigh of defeat, faint '93 steals off to breakfast, or with the energy of despair, he lowers his fellow from the tower to clear away that '92. In vain he rubs, he scrubs, he boils with rage. I-Iis fellows look on in agony, while '90, '91 and '92 deride. Aloft from that high tower Hangs a Freshman young and gffzm, In vain he rubs at 'Q2, W,hile almost bursts his spleen. In vain see Freshie gnash his teeth, In vain look round for aid, The risk he ran was life or death, The terms himself had made. Then long may that high tower stand, And e'er recall to view That hardy Freshman, sponge in hand, Enlarging '92. 28
