IDtetor of Senior Class. JL JL .2 J £ NOW it came to pass that it was in the seventh year of the Janitorship of Frederick the First. 2 And when Almon Edwin was ruling in the room of Ephraim, several measly Fresh sneaked up to the throne of him who calls the roll for prayers and sputters ink on sheep- skin. , Now when these measlv Fresh had come near the throne they humbly begged admission to the college of the wise men. 4. And Almon Edwin rose up and addressed them saying : e Behold there are others who have power to say whether or not it is given to you to enter the college of the wise men. 6 Get you gone to the instructors below, to Samuel Ben Martyn who will try you with the language of the Latians and to Ferdinand the son of Tacob, the mighty expounder of the Scriptures and to the Venable teacher who instructs in the science of Notation and Numeration : and it was so 7 And immediately thev betook themselves to the teachers below according to the order of Almon Edwin the successor to Ephriam 8 And Lo these fr-shmen did acquit themselves right well in the presence of these mighty men. for they passed on all examinations and did make a good impression, especially with the Venable teacher, for whom they solved a quadratic equation with their eyes shut and gave information as to where he could swap an empty tomato can for a square meal. 9. After these things they returned to the presence of Almon Edwin, who succeeded Ephriam. 10. And Al ' i on Edwin pulled his moustache and opened his mouth and spake: 11. My sons, what success have ye had with the professors below. 12. And when they had reported their success to Almon Edwin, it pleased him greatly and as a reward he passed them in the language of the Grecians without examination. 13. And straightway he matriculated them and they became his disciples. 14. And the freshmen spake and said, this is swell doings and is marvelous in our eyes. 15. And lo, this was a year of mighty conflict in the strug- gles after knowledge, for they were plagued sorely with ex- aminations both in January and in June, insomuch that one of the measly fresh fell discomfited in a dire conflict with Caesar. CHAPTER II. 1. And it came to pass in the second year of Almon Edwin when the fresh returned, they were known as wise fools. 2. And they immediately set themselves to work to win high honors inthe search for knowledge. 3. Moreover when the time came for examination 111 Janu- ary in the eighth vear of Frederick the Janitor, and in the second year of Almon Edwin, and in the first year of Matthew the Chancellor, that one of the wise fools fell not lightly in the language of the Latians for which Almon Edwin was very wroth. 4 And behold, this was a year of great events in relation to the members of the Faculty, for Samuel ivas taken grievously sick, sick unto death and another taught in his stead. The tame was Dock. 5. And also the Venable teacher of Notation and Numera- tion did leave the College, so that he taught no more that year. 6. Moreover his place was not left vacant, for a certain Ash- ton did come to rule in his stead. 7. And these wi°e fools did overcome the fresh this year in
