I use profane languagef' It seems we are supposed to tip our hats to members of the Customs Committee. And it is against the rules to do it to anybody else. One of a pair of twins is on the committee and the other isn't. I was sure that the one I was talking to was not on the committee and told him to go to hell when he asked me to tip my cap. I got the wrong twin. Thursday night Uncle Billy fthat's what we call the presi- dent you knowj had our class down to his house for a reception. When we got back we discovered that the sophomores had stolen all our pajamas. So we had a big tight. It was pretty good sport but we didn't get our paja- mas back until the next day . . . October 8, 1928. MR DEAR MR. AND MRS. Hoo: . . . After the appointment of permanent faculty advisers, we will try to have them keep in touch with the parents either by correspondence or by conference. Consultation will be welcomed at any time. Very sincerely yours, H. TATNALL BROWN, J Rfk 'There is no further reference to a faculty adviser in any of Hoo's letters. Who he was or what was his function is an enigma to all scholars examining the material. Uctober 15, 1928. QTO homej . . . I guess you read about the football game with Amherst. It was some game. You should have seen Uncle Billy throw his hat in the air and jump around when the touch- down that put us ahead was scored. You had better send me some more money? There is a dance at College next week. Besides I am having to buy a lot of books . . . 'If there is one sentence that h constantly recurs throughout the letters it is this sentence.

CTo brotherj . . . but I suppose FCXD was no different when you were here at Col- lege. For yesterday's algebra class we rigged up an alarm clock on one of the chandeliers. It went off at exactly nine o'clock. Effie followed some seconds later. He was already a bit put out because all the windows were stuck closed. It was a curious coincidence that all the handles to turn the radiators off were also missing. And you know how Effie likes his fresh air . . . I thought this place was going to be pretty tough. So far I haven't had to do much work. But I guess I didn't get such bad preparation in Woodbury High after all . . . November 21, 1928.

CTo homej . . . so the faculty, not satisfied that the college is stiff enough, has contrived a new scheme of torture, known as the comprehensive examina- tion, to be taken in your major subject at the end of four years. We had a big bonfire last Friday night for a sort of pep meeting before the Delaware game. After the soccer game with Swarthmore, some of their boys tried to light it. There was a general fight following. Coach Harman waded in swinging with both right and left. To my knowledge the only person he hit was myself . . . I feel better today. December 5, 1928.
