Howard Arm- strong: These interesting details which Mr. Pearson has reluc- tantly consented to divulge for the furtherance of my greatest desire-to be thought a real sport-are the more valuable since, as I am given to understand, f'For. Pearson is descended from a ine old family-a family closely related to the Washingtons, I believe, and, in the contour of his face, I am sure that one may observe an unmistakable resemblance to his great-great- granduncle, G. Washington, Esq., first President of these United. and Expansive States. But if our President fIVIr. Pearson, I Ineanj be descended from the Washingtons, it must have been a long and rapid descent-a sort of step from the sublime to the ridiculous, one might say, and no one appreciates this fact better than his friends. Have you all seen copies of the great NASSAU HERALD? No? Well, the book contains a list of an- swers each year to questions calculated to show up the members of the Senior Class. Now, it happened that Forf' Pearson 'Was looking over the 1902 HERALD, with a girl, last J une. And when she cameto these answers she w-as very much interested indeed. I I suppose that you will be voted something, Mr. Pearson ?, said the girl. 7 5

Washingtorfs Birthday Oration HO, yes, replied For.,n modestly, I expect to be hit with the first one. i The girl looked at the nrst answer, which is in regard to the most popular man, and then turned the page and gazed at the iinal one, which designates the mo-st useless. Yes, she said, looking dreamily out of the Window. 'fYes. And the first shall be last and the last shall be first. When I look into the innocent, child-like faces of these tender of-shoots of our nation-that nation 0-f which G. Washington is reputed to have been the parent-powerful man, G. Washing- ton-I have a mental vision of the father of his country turning over -and over in his grave at the thought of having furnished a refuge for such ignorant, dumb and unlettered foreigners as Hiltebeitel, I-Iollenbach, Rentschler and Schweikert. When I look into the faces of these members of the great and glorious Class of 1903, I see only the gold filling in Otto IIack's teeth and a quid of tobacco in the cheek of Chace Andrews. Iii Pk Pk 3 Pk Pk if Now, my complacent hearers, in these days of a great Uni- versity, when it is almost impossible to tell a graduate student from a Freshman or i'Pop Hermann from a town mucker, nick- names are very convenient. But some of them do- not fit v-ery well. For instance, thereis Chilly Childress, better known, perhaps, as Alois P. Childress, the Svvaboda of the class. Far from being chilly at all, he is the warmest-hearted scion of the Sunny South fJohn Clark Finney not exceptedj ever connected with a love tale. You have heard about the time that Chilly went to- Wilmington with the Nassaus to play football with the Wilmington Athletics? No? Well, it was this way: After the game the Nassaus', adjourned to a convenient tavern to demonstrate that alcohol could be a food. But two girls who had seen the game had been caught in the toils by Chilly,s fatal gift of beauty. They found their way to the room where these battered heroes of the gridiron Q as Tommy Thomas would put itj were assembled and inquired for their matinee idol. They were informed that the Nassaus were electing the next yearfs captain. Whereupon one of them essayed to nominate the man they call 'Mr Chilly., ,J Out of deference to the fair 6
