Shut letters will always be very acceptable. Foilowing in an extract from a letter from John Bugbee. who is attending college in Texas: I am here in this ''Gud-ft:u'5aikenH place going to the Agricultural gchool. I have just been here a month. but it seems year: since I left Long each. The first two weeks of my college life here were the most unplealant that I have ever experienced. and I hope wiil ever experience. The Freshmen here are eailed Fish by the upper classmen. We Fish furnished enter- tainment for the whole gang. I. for one. had to sing. dance. make a speed! on prohibition. pray and yell. After our studien begun in earnest. the hazing stopped. In the mess hall. however. we are still made to realize that we are 55h. Any upper classman is privileged to take a Fish's dessert whenever he wishea it. It is needless to say he wishes it whenever the tiessert is good. I like my studies here line. excluding Physics, but I hate the military part of this college. This gun work and drilling simply kills me 0H. have to take English here. though. of course. i don't need it. U expect you believe meJ I am so glad that the Poly High is such a success. I want man: news of it. 'numyron:
