PERHAPS Breathes there a girl with soul so dead Who never to herself hath said— A string of cuss words? THE HEIGHT OF INDIGNATION Edith Bond (draw ing herself up to her full height, breadth and thickness) : “This matter has gone quite far enuf.” LEG FOOD Armbrustcr: “Take long walks. Walking is the best possible food for the legs.” Wiltse: “Yes; as the farmer would say: ‘Boy, go out and feed the calves’.” A SURE CURE Messenger: “What reform is needed for the Glee Club.” Wells: “Chloroform.” Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust; If Greek can’t kill us, Chemistry must. PEACE, BLESSED PEACE Douds: “Shut up, fellows; you disturb my peace of mind.” Dukes: “Piece of mind is right.”

SEVERAL GOOD REASONS WHY SO MANY WESLEYAN MEN FLUNK SOCIAL REGULATIONS FOR THE FACULTY No flirting allowed on chapel platform. A member of the faculty may be escorted to Fairfield by a gentleman if they are accompanied by fifty-three students. Avoid all slang. Such expressions as “Pull it off,” “stone age stuff,’’ et cetera, et cetera, are not in keeping with the dignity of the institution. When Dr. Schell announces a strange hymn, at least sing the “Amen.” The men of the faculty should not flirt with coeds in class periods. It quite likely will be reported at Hcrshey Hall. You may take short cuts across the campus to avoid meeting students, but do not walk in the paths.
