All the better, he said, for that would save him the price of a bed. Anyway, he had often thought it would be fun to spend a night in jail. What did he do with his hat? After a long while of questioning, he was left guarded and his inquisitors left the room to decide his fate. Our hero meditated in mixed expectancy. Then his freedom was announced, with a lecture by an imposing gentleman as to the propriety of night walking, particularly when hatless. The gentleman offered to put his money in the station safe for him. He offered him a hat. Our hero accepted the first and declined the latter. llA nutfl someone murmured. And before another day our hero had hoboed his way to Hillsboro and back. Without a hat. Page Ninety-tlzree

Out of the Past l URING its ten years of existence, Reed, like all other live - college communities, has not been lacking in interesting episodes peculiar to itself. The following is an attempt to compile some of the latter for the enlightenment and ediflcation of the present generation of students. The major part of the material was drawn from the files of the Quest, but much was also obtained from borrowed personal diaries and by querying old-timers. Some of the quotations were taken with the View of illustrating the contrast between Reed life as it is and as it used to be; for example, who could imagine a custom among Reed students such as depicted in the essay on llOur Table Manners: quoted below.P or that there should ever have been a llscandal problem', on the Reed campus? or a condition of student apathy such as is set forth in the letter from A Critic to the Quest editor, also quoted at length below? 1912 Thanksgiving Day. First Reed football game played on Mult- nomah Field. Sophs whip Frosh. 1913. January 16. First edition of the Reed College Quest, published fortnightly. Name Quest adopted as a result of a letter to the president from Mr. Coleman referring to the Reed commumty as the uComrades of the Quest? . January 25. New board walk connects the college w1th the cement walk on Tolman, thus eliminating necess1ty of walkmg thru a sea of sand. Cross. country runners astound citizens of Woodstock by scanty apparel. .
