The side-walk gang, after a morning of real work ate- heartily With the Rakers tMary includedt in fact no one, slighted the treats that Lucy Morse and her committee had provided. Probably in the memory of many the hour marking the division :1: mdormng and afternoon Will be the most pleasant of any during e ay. t Rain cut the afternoon work short but no end of gOOd things were accomphshed by those Who worked inside Marsh Hall and

Never in the history of the college has there been such a truce 0n the old dog. The spirit of the classes in calling Boxer neutral for the evening typifies the unity that can be secured When the future of the school is at stake.
