Captain H. L. Choate, '13, played at fullback for three years. In his Junior year he was chosen for the all-state team. Last fall he broke a rib early in the season, which handicapped him considerably. He was the most proficient punter in the state. Byron Rock, '14. Captain-elect for next year, developed, according to leading Wisconsin coaches and sporting writers, into the best guard ever repre- senting a Wisconsin college. All critics placed him on the all-state team. Ray Sorenson, '13, held down end position for three years. Especially strong on defense, his tackles nipped many aspiring runners around his end. His ankle bothered considerably during the last season, and lie was forced to retire in most big encounters. H. A. Swartz, '13, directed the Crimson attack during two seasons. Early last fall he fractured his collar bone, which decreased his efficiency after his re-entry. Swart , was noted for his ginger. 82 Louis Gkaf, '13, did not join the squad until after the Beloit game, but did gallant service in the last two games. He won three gridiron R’s and ranked highly as field general and as an individual player. Casey” Finnegan, one of the Finnegan tribe, appeared at center for the Crimson for two years. He was equally good on offense and defense, and always showed best against Lawrence. Edwin J. Smith, ’l l, played left guard during the past season. Jeff was strong on the defense and quite adept in blocking forward passes. B. J. Thompson, 14, alternated at center with Finnegan, lie is a reliable passer and heady de- fenso man, although his work never approached the sensational. He has played two seasons on the team. 83 f® Lawrence Carroll. '15, was chosen by some critics as all-state halfback. He is strong on tackle smashes, for which ho became noted during the past season. Haroi.d H. Corky. ‘1(5, played at tackle on the mythical state eleven by all critics. Carrying the spheriod he was seldom Wrought to earth by the first defensive man. llis experience and weight, 203 pounds, made him the most proficient linesman among western colleges. George Krebs, 15, alternated a: both ends. His chief strength is in receiving forward passes and in covering punts. This was his second year of colle- giate football. I.ester Thomas, 14, did not receive a football emblem until this year. Injuries keeping the Beaver Dam athlete on the side lines for two years. Thomas alternated at fullback and end and developed into a versatile utility man. 81 Ray Searle, ’14, half-back, earned the reputa- tion of being the hardest worker on the .squad. “Butch’’ came to Ripon without any previous foot- ball experience, and has not reached his maximum ability. Thomas W. Bricklby, ’16, was the fastest man on a Wisconsin eleven during the past season. Run- ning in an open held he repeatedly dodged, side- stepped or outran half the opposing team. He was officially placed on the conference team at halfback. I Gary Eldridce, T6, at the other tackle, was a stronger defense man than Corey, but fell short of the Green Bay giant when entrusted with the pig- skin. His one year's experience will help him won- derfully next fall. Hans Larson. ’16. was the .smallest gridiron per- former in Wisconsin. He developed into a deadly defensive end toward the close of the season. 85 fntc caiHsffi FOOTBALL SQUAD Mkhn O’Connor Short WBIOMAN Maynard Beauchamp Rock Krebs C. C.

THE 1912 football season had a fitful of ups and downs. After an uncertain getaway the team gradually forged to the front and qualified for the final championship battle against Lawrence on November 23. This annual pastime with the Methodists was the best contested game seen on Ingalls Field in years. The Blue won the conference championship by crossing the Crimson goal for a touchdown m the final quarter, after three rounds of spectacular milling. The inexperience of the Crimson performers, assisted by capricious Madam Fortune, who smiled on the opponents at opportune moments, probably robbed the Crimson team of the state title, as the loss of the Beloit and Lawrence games may be ascribed to these causes. The 1912 machine was the most beefy Crimson gridiron representa- tives in a row of years. The total average was 172 pounds, while the line from tackle to tackle registered 182 pounds each. At the opening of the school year, ten veterans returned to school. These men were Captain Choate, Sorenson, Finnegan, Graf. Swartz, Rock, Thompson, Smith, Carroll, and Krebs.. Of the 1911 team, Bull” Finnegan, Fruth, Mutch, Utgard. Benson, and Leaper were lost through graduation or non-return. New material was not over-abundant, hut nevertheless quite select. Bricklcy, Corey, Eldridge, and Larson were Freshmen, who developed into genuine gridiron satellites. Followers of the 1912 machine saw the red stockings in their in- auguratory practice game against Oshkosh 11. S. on September 28. Dur- ing the second period, the crimson warriors collected a total of twenty- two points. Three weeks later the Ripon team experienced her worst slump of the season when on October 19 the Crimson athletes lost to Oshkosh Normal at Oshkosh. Swartz had been injured in the Oshkosh High game and Bricklev appeared at quarter. The team showed considerable individual ability against the teachers, but machine work and general- ship were lacking. Corey, Eldridge, Carroll, and Brlckley were conspicu- ous by the performances during the afternoon. 88 P« ctiTfagf On November 2, Ir .y ’ Smith’s turf maulers traveled to Waukesha and that afternoon wiped out three consecutive fluke-defeats by appro- priating the aristocratic extremity of a 16-0 verdict on Frame Field. About 150 students and alumni accompanied the team on a special train. A week later Beloit was the guest at Ingalls Field. The crimson- hosed warriors completely bewildered the state line team during the in- itial period with a varied attack, and Corey crossed the goal line from the 12-yard line. At the opening of the second half. Place advanced the ball on a 25-yard run and, coupled with a 15-yard penalty, placed the ball on Ripons 4-yard line, from where Place shoved it over on the third down. Fucik kicked goal and the score stood 7-6 in favor of the visitors. The fracas was called off on account of darkness after eight minutes of the second half had been played. On November 16, Ripon easily defeated Northwestern at Water- town by a 2( -D count. The Lutherans offered no offense, and made then- downs but once. Corey, Brickley, Sorenson, and Larson made eight touchdown in three quarters. Unfortunately, the olticials did not allow four of these invasions owing to slight rule infringements. November 22 witnessed the banner attraction on the domestic grid- iron. Alumni from distant states and people from nearby towns came to the “college town to witness the annual gridiron performance against the Methodists. For three quarters the two rivals fought desperately, with no scoring result. In the final quarter McClelland of the blue team crossed the Crimson goal to the extreme delight of the Lawrence section on the east side of the field, thereby presenting the Appleton school with the coveted title.

The previous season, Ripon also won the Wisconsin championship in the na- tional indoor game, but Beloit was not represented. The race was fought out by Ripon, Carroll, and Lawrence. The past season did not appear over-roseate at the opening. Captain Wood, of last year’s squad, did not return to school. Swartz, a forward on two previous crimson quintets, was declared ineligible, while Graf sustained an injury to his hack in the second game and was out for the balance of the season. This left Captain Sorenson and Rueping’, forwards, and Beauchamp, guard, the only veterans on the squad. Corey and Mehn, two husky Freshmen, became regulars before mid-season, Corey taking Wood's place and Mehn developing into the most proficient running guard among the state college teams. B. I,. Choate, leader of the 1011 team, played at for- ward in the first Lawrence game. Other members of the squad who participated in one 0� more intercollegiate games are, Krause, Searle. Walker, Smith, and Loomis. With a week’s practice, the Ripon squad journeyed to Madison on December 7 and received a 40 to 13 trouncing from the Wisconsin team. Captain Sorenson was suffering from a football injury. Beauchamp and Sorenson were the only men to appear in the Crimson lineup. On January 9, Ripon opened the college season with a victory over Milton, 36-15. The squad appeared rough and unfinished, but played brilliant ball in spots. A week later Lawrence bested the crimson-hosed athletes by a 33-18 score at Indooj Athletic Field. The showing of both squads was a surprise to local fans. On January 24 Ripon, with a revised lineup, lost to Beolit by a score of 20-18, after lead- ing the state school until the very finish. Carroll was humbled at Waukesha, January 31, without difficulty. The final fig- ures were 30-19. And a week later the local team lost to the State Normal quintet at Oshkosh in the same manner and by the same figures, as Beloit had nosed out the visitors a fortnight previous. Carroll came to Ripon foi her return tilt on February 14. The performance degenerated into a burlesque on the winter pastime. The score board revealed the final official result as 30-8 against the guests. February 21 witnessed the return Beloit-Iiipon engagement at the Indoor Ath- letic Field. At the end of the first half, the red-jorsoyed men led 15-4, but during the second period, the invaders fought desperately and raised their total to 21. while the home team amassed a 31 score in the meantime, thereby winning the distinction of being the only Wisconsin team to defeat Beloit in five years. The Crimson machine won the state title on February 28. when Lawrence suc- cumbed to the attack of their old rivals on the Appleton court by the ironic figures, 13-12. On the following night Ripon, for the sake of retaliation, humbled the Oshkosh Normal team, 35-14, at Indoor Athletic Field; thus ending the season with four straight wins and a final percentage of .714 for the entire collegiate schedule. 92 � 4 CLASS CHAMPIONS Center Right Forward Left Forward Left (Liard Right (Liard .

The unexpected had happened —girls’ athletics had appeared on the campus and. apparently, to stay. The organization was effected through the interest of the girls them- selves, aided by the co-operation of Miss Van Harlingen and Miss Hoppough. to whose untiring efforts the success of the project is largely due. After a few preliminary practices, those not intensely interested, or those unfit for such strenuous exercise dropped out, and two perma- nent teams were chosen. So evenly were they matched that at the end of the season the scorings gave no advantage to cither side. Contrary to the usual Idea, the scrimmages were conducted in a thoroughly scientific manner and the improvement was very remarkable. Each girl expressed her pleasure in the winter’s work and her desire to renew it next fall. 91 J t f 1 : (!iris' Basketball TRACK Coach...........................Smith Captain.........................Goodrich Manager.........................BUMBY THE TEAM Wood Goodrich Rock Young Otis TRACK SCHEDULE. 1912 May 16 ....

Bartlett, at last, wrapped in sleep, dreamed of the college circus. The parade was over, the wonderful show was on. The clanging of the door-bell announced the entrance of the animal trainc-rs. Mingled with the sound of the bell was a peculiar gutteral utterance which rose to a shriek of despair. Jean rubbed her eyes, then she sat up. This isn't the circus! What was that noise?” She waited in breathless suspense. From the first floor there came a suspicious combination of sounds. It sounded like y person moving like the swish of a broom—why. was that a pig? How did it get in? Jean didn't know'. Maybe it climbed the fire-escape, maybe it came through the skylight, maybe it came through the basement (visitors have been known to enter that way). Anyway, it was in! Also it went out! And thereby hangs the tale. Jean “dropped herself over the banister to speed the parting guest. Below her pandemonium reigned supreme. Lights flashed on and off. The first flash of light revealed a determined figure clad in a kimono and armed with a broom—also speeding the parting guest. For several moments longer the desparing wail of the pig added to the confusion. A door opened and closed. One last, long, piercing squeal—then silence. Profound mystery still shrouds the pig’s way of entrance. The gloomy, care-worn faces of the fellows at the training table the next morning, particularly those of Casey and Smoke, told plainly that they knew nothing about it. Are looks deceiving? CASUALTIES Dr. Mutch ran his eye along the shelf of a high school library. A book caught it. Lucky for the doctor. Frank Savage lost her head when she heard the Russell around the corner. Lillian dropped her arms when the crash came. 106 fTH£ CRIHSO? BY WAY OF EXPLANATION The element in other schools. Which ln-urs so much discussing; The greatest charn, of campus life. Hus received the name of fussing. Because the. annals oi oar school Would ill withstand defacing. We hare taken one step further. And set it down US chasing. TO those living; under the stimulating influence of our co-educational life, the term chasing needs no defining. In a study of the term as to its technical meaning, would quite destroy the charm of its relation to the present subject. Suffice it to say, the benefits derived from chasing are noticeably many and far reaching. Foi the modest Freshman, upon receiving an enigmatically obscure smile from some fair maid, at whoso shrine he has secretly worshipped, forgets his awkwardness and Lo. He blossoms forth as a full-fledged chaser. We must not for- get, however, the final test he must undergo, before his envious companions become reconciled to his regular appearance in his new role. With the object of his affection besides him, he strolls leisurely by that old historic edifice known as “Smith Hall.” From the window's and porch of this same building issue forth valuable words of encouragement and well meant criticism, which are in- tended to place the victim in that mental stato, in which it, is said of one that he is fussed. C basing with the upperclassmen is taken as a matter of course. Occasionally, however, the effect is like a thunderbolt from the sky, when a studious, retiring -Junior takes the initiative and plunges in the whirlpool of social life. Then, too, it is not well lo forget the good-natured rivalry which sometimes arises from a disregard of the rules of the gamo. Sad is the Jay when two aspirants find their paths conflicting. Some one must be the goat, and when the Smoke’’ clears away, it is often a “Pinch” to pick the Victor. Everything considered, chasing is valuable experience, and although i . has not been formally placed in the college curriculum, the silent approval of it by the faculty, should be sufficient endorsement as to its value. 108 ®S3S!

Ill A NONYMOUS. r (THf CPjHjgg AS THE FRESHMAN SAW IT OWING to an unfortunate oversight on the part of the committee on arrange merits, the Sophomore class was not informed that the Freshman party would not be held at Green Lake, or South Woods, or some other place of scenic beauty, as usual, but in their own back yard, so to speak. As a result, the members of the illustrious class of 1916 bad disposed of a sumptuous oyster supper, cleared the tables, and prepared the floor for dancing by the time the working portion of the Sophomores, smelling a mouse, had tracked it, with much industry and courage, to its lair. Two members of that class, however, coming early to avoid the rush, and desiring to learn how a good party should be conducted, found it quite easy to get in, but rather difficult to get out again,—in fact, they stayed. Of course, there is some difference of opinion as to whether they stayed because they wished to, or because necessity demanded the sacrifice. At about nine o’clock, after much hesitation and consultation among those not invited, the ovation began, and the anxious endeavors of the Sophs, to pay fitting tribute to the superior intelligence of their underclass mates was truly touching, in truth, it touched us in our most sensitive part,—our pocketbooks! While the confederates did their best to attract attention in front, several of the best pitchers went around in the alley, ar.d after practicing a long time, managed to present their first gift by way of a window, which, being closed, naturally broke and mingled its fragments with those o: the missile, «1 large bottle whose aromatic con- tents soon filled the air with a fragrance strangely and beautifully suggestive of lim- burger, brimstone, snuff, and other oriental perfumes, and stained the surrounding furniture and the door an enchanting pale brown. Such demonstrations were distasteful to our modest spirits, and a table was propped up at the window to shield us from the advances of an admirer whose gen- erosity we could not fittingly reciprocate. However, in the course of the evening, we endeavored to show a little of our appreciation by furnishing everyone within reach with liquid refreshments, an act which was received with cold thanks,—hut ingratitude is a human characteristic. While we were pointing out the intense feeling which prompted our act of kind- ness to the crowd outside, their friends, in a feeble attempt to show their appreciation of the beautiful music being rendered by the orchestra, presented them, in spite of remonstrances, with some spirits of ammonia,—a little attention which so touched the musicians that for some moments they could not see for the tears which poured from their eyes. The dance went merrily on, with pauses in the program to give our redoubtable warriors and debaters a chance to show their superiority over their adversaries, who exhibited signs of almost human intelligence at times,—but only at times. Suddenly, in the middle of a dance, the table barricade toppled over with a crash, and the end of u ladder appeared in a window. With their customary coolness in the face of the inevitable, the Freshmen received and showed proper gratitude for the gift thus thrust upon them, more especially as it was a decided help in reinforcing the fortifications. 112 rTHECftiwsQM? SRJ4.. While the Sophomore class was occupied in the bemoaning of their beloved ladder and cudgeling; their brains to think up something: in methods of attack, the “police force’’ and the trustworthy messengers assigned to that task, brought ice cream for the refreshment of the garrison, and hostilities were suspended for awhile. Not from any voluntary agreement on the part of the combatants, but because the mighty intel- lects of the enemy were not capable of inventing any new course of procedure in so short a time. Finally they resolved, as a last desperate attempt, to make charge and take the place by storm, but they paused on the stairs to argue with the always brave and cool defenders, whose respect for the “Power of the Law,” who just then appeared in our midst, was all that kept them from totally annihilating the enemy. At last our more generous spirit conquered our aversions, and with a loud cry of. “I.et them come in! It’s nearly time to go anyway,” we opened our hearts and our doors to them, but fearing they knew not what- -such magnanimity being utterly be- yond their understanding—they declined the invitation and went home. At twelve o’clock, the brilliant assemblage broke up, and with characteristic big- ness of heart, every Freshman went home with a large supply of the fragrant odor of cheese and sulphur to give to all their less fortunate friends and upperclassmen.

The Lump of Curios- ity, had given him much good advice. Among other things she had said, “Child, there will he many Earth Beings who scorn very important, for such is the nature of Earth Beings, but be not led astray. Seek where-so-ever thou goest, and there where knowl- edge should be but is not, thou shall find.” He was a wise little Imp, this Three Cornered Imp o: Curiosity, and remembered all that his mother had said unto him. ‘“Where knowledge should be,' that surely is a school, said he. “ ‘And is not,’ let me see. Senior Beings have very much knowledge, Junior Beings much knowledge, Sophomore Beings some knowledge. Ha! I have it. It’s the Freshman Beings. They have neither knowledge, nor even the knowledge that they have no knowledge. Verily, verily, 1 have solved the riddle.” At last he came to the “Hall of Learning,” set upon a hill, and as he watched, over the campus came a company of Earth Beings so seemingly superior to all their surroundings that he stopped to gaze. But behold! their color was green, such a shade that even the grass was so ashamed to be thus out-greened that it sparkled with tear drops every morning. The Three Cornered Imp laughed a cracked little three- cornered laugh. Verily, these Earth Beings are important, 1 will watch them. And so he watched. In all their actions, in their walk, in their talk, the same air of owning the Earth and condescendingly allowing other Earth Beings to live upon it. The Imp peeked in at these Fresh Beings' class meetings and saw their bra- vado and head-strongness grow to a di .' .ving size. They laughed at their betters, and challenged the world, and flapped their frayed little wings and crowed. “See Us. There are none like Us. The sun shines for Us, the moon rises for Us. ‘The world is our Oyster,’ and on a certain night, in the Mason’s Hall of this city (which was created only for Us to dwell in) we shall begin to open that Oyster.” Truly,” saith the Imp, “These are the Most Imprudently Important Earth Beings it has been mv misfortune to run up against. On the appointed night the Imp stationed himself in the most convenient spot to see ali that was to be seen, and waited. These Fresh Earth Beings arrived by dreadful and devious ways at the hall wherein the jublification was to be held. The President spoke little, but this was made up for by a squarely built, very Important Being whose voice was loud and penetrating, and another smaller Being as hugely important in his small way. Zooks,” murmured the Imp, “the one has a voice .ike a whole political campaign, anti in his own imagination is vastly more important, and the smaller Green Being has a forehead almost as expansive as the bosom of a dress shirt. Oh!” he sighed, if there were only something back of it.” Soon arrived those whose duty it was to look after these Earth Beings and train their steps in the paths that they should go. Senior Beings had come to watch the Sophomore Beings in their work of correction, and these Fresh Beings were ever un- mannerly to these Senior Beings. It was then that the Imp caught his breath. 11(5 Of all Imprudently Important Earth Beings, these are the limit.” Then it was, however, that these Fresh Beings received a lesson, although the Sophomore Beings had to resort to the old-fashioned medium, the hide. There fol- lowed broken glass and a ruined rug. “Ah, ha.” laughed the Imp, and he jotted down in his note hook—“Liniment to buy, bills to pay—Imprudently, Impudently Important,” and he almost gave himself away by giggling so loud. Suddenly an awful odor arose. The Imp clapped his hands to his three-cornered nose and watched these Earth Beings scamped about and scream. Then he nodded in a satisfied manner, and made this entry in his three-cornered notebook before he de- parted to the world where Imps live: “In the world of Earth Beings there is a city called Kipon, and in that city is a college on a hill, and there go to that college the Most Imprudently, Impudently Important Earth Beings in the world, and these Earth Beings are called the 191(5 Freshman class.

Superficial observation, taken in this fashion, is sometimes as interesting, if not as profitable, as the result of particular study. ! found an inside place on one occasion at the Faculty Celebration of the Em- peror’s birthday. It was a small hut a decidedly scholastic affair. It began at noon. In spite of the fact, the academic gowns were for the most part displaced by the con- ventional evening dress. There was nothing unusual about it; a long, rather prosaic address was given, after which the Faculty withdrew in order, and the rest of us, in disorder, got out the best we could. The feature of particular interest to mo, was the student and spectacular side of the celebration. As nearly as 1 could determine, not the students, but the student so- cieties or fraternities, were represented. These standard bearers were present in great glory, and in splendid peacock like colors. They were to be seen before and after the affair, going and coming, as they drove in all imaginable self-conscious and soli- tary pomp, in open carriages, to or awaj from the entrance. I saw nothing else in Germany that reflected the self-confident, inflated, satisfied, and pompous spirit of imperialism quite so effectively, as did the isolated though temporary grandeur o: these students. Dressed in the richest colored silks and satins, in tight breeches and flowing capes, bedecked with feathers and illuminated with streamers, holding above them on a long staff the brilliantly emblazoned banner of their class, these men, each by himself, sat in their open carriages, the observed of all observers, with a manifest and unconcerned self-consciousness as belongs to the Emperor when he poses for a photograph. They came into the room unattended, without any order, poling their way through the crowd with their long flag staffs, locating themselves wherever they could find a spot. Throughout the exercises they stood in shining splendor, supporting their ban- ners. themselves supported by the glory that was wrapped about them, protected bv immense sabres which jangled at their hips, and apparently having no more part in the proceedings than I had—save for decorative purposes, in which they far ex- celled me. After it was over they rode back again in the same stately fashion, solitary in their private carriage, with unconsciousness of the public written on every feature. It was, however, a trifle to the disadvantage of their dignity that they had to scramble out of the room with all the rest. In the process I caught some of the reflected glory of one of them, for 1 was hustled along by his side with the rich yellow silk banner flut- tering over my head as gracefully as it floated over his. 1 just missed getting an invitation—for three dollars—to the student celebration of the same noteworthy birthday. There were other things besides speeches at the banquet, and it is perhaps well that I did not see that particular form of honoring the Emperor. I missed also an invitation to be a spectator at any of the students duels. In fact, I did not know just how or just when that particular type of invitation was issued. I frequently saw the results of the duels, however. They tight, so 1 was told, using a sword like a razor-like tip. Evidently the mark for the swordsman is his enemy’s cheek. At any rate that is what he hits. 122 r g«LByisos) Students who belong to the fraternities—1 forgot the name—must, when occa- sion offers, fight. Students who are not of any such set arc not likely to be involved. A man of the dueling type who has no a stood up before his antagonist is ashamed of himself. He is a marked man. He can escape from such disgrace only by getting a mark on his cheek. That is the symbol of manliness. 1 do not think that any student is satisfied to light and to defend himself so skillfully that he remains unscarred. It is the scar they are after. To the outsider this bit of sacred nonsense- this relic of the days of honor,—which never existed,—is an amusing thing. No one expects to be killed in these duels at tiie worst one might lose an eye or a piece of an ear. But the slash on the cheek is the thing. If there is anything in evolution tin universal man of the future will be with a scar on his cheek—a birthmark of glory. The German students take the duelling seriously, cherish it as the apple of their eye, and have not the slightest suspicion that the whole thing is ridiculous, and is characterized by far less sense than a cock fight. 1 had the opportunity to go into many class rooms, and i listened to a variety of lectures on themes ranging from Greek art to German Catholic Theology. The pro- fessor, if at all popular, is welcomed to the class by a hurriod shuttling of the feet, or scraping of the floor—not by a genuine applause. At the exact moment for begin- ning. the lecturer enters the room, and immediately begins his lecture—even before he has opened his manuscript, or looked at his audience. When the bell rings at the close ol' the hour, he vanishes before the students can close their notebooks. I saw only one man who allowed the students to speak to him after the class. He lectured in German. Twelve o’clock lectures begin at quarter past twelve, so of every hour. An hour eel lure occupies forty-five minutes. The fifteen minutes between are used largely for a promenade up and down the corridors. There is more unconventionality about the class rcom than is common in an Amer- ican college. The hours are long and the students get hungry. Many of them carry a dry roll in their pockets, and as they walk in the corridor or the aisle, or stand before the class during the interim, they munch and munch with perfect unconcern. Young women will take out their lunch in public, and eat standing or walking with as much complacency as young men smoke on the street. At an evening lecture, before the arrival of the lecturer, I saw one young lady, who evidently was not satisfied with the arrangement of things on the platform, go forward and adjust the professor’s chair to suit her own taste. Students go to class or not, as they please. They are jealous of their right in this particular. 1 was told by one student that there were certain men in the university taking a six-year law course who never visited the class room. For four years they lived a sort of freebooter’s life. Then during the lust two years, some man who had the lectures in writing, coached them—for a good sum—so that they could pass the examination. Such a proceeding would be wholly possible. There is no record of at- tendance kept. The only thing the student has to fear is the final examination ut the end of the course. Then, no doubt, many students do as I was assured they do. To suggest an examination at the end of a semester, or year, would bring a rebellion in twenty-four hours. The larger number of students, of course, are there for study, and seldom fail to be at the lectures; but there are many who are wholly indifferent to the class room and care only to squeeze through or. the final examinations. 123 •J.
