Twenty-eight of the veteran band made their way through Sophomore and entered the land of Junior. There they erected a trophy and called it The Cardinal. Some Barbarians from a far country were employed in building this memorial. But the veterans treated them justly and paid them in full for all their work. Twenty-four of the band entered Senior. In the heart of this country is a deep ravine strongly guarded by examinations. All who passed this defile were honored with a stately robe of black and a mortar board of the same color. When these first appeared in their distinguished apparel, certain small camp-followers from the land of Junior were sorely frightened. They could not see one another in the shadow of the dignity of the approved warriors. They were afraid they would be lost. So each one put on a loud garment of red and yellow and carried a lighted candle in his hand. At last, after they had marched many weary stages, they learned that only a few parasangs lay between them and the Sea, the end of their journey together. They began to recount their experiences, their victories and their defeats. While they were thus reviewing the past a Barbarian Chief came into their camp and asked, “Who is the noblest of this valiant band? Who has performed most successfully the labors of your long journey?” And all answered, Dux femina facti . Now the last day’s journey is ended. The Sea for which they have longed and labored lies before them. The waves upon whose crests they have planned to ride are dashing at their feet, but they shrink from the chill of the first plunge. Xenophon.

They had completed the journey through the deserts of the Public Schools, fought their Cunaxa, and were now ready to begin the long and perilous march through the highlands of the University to the Sea. The first country they entered was Freshman. That is a wonderful county, full of dangers and marvels. In their first day’s journey they found that its atmosphere was turning their countenances green. In the province of Chemistry and Physics they encountered a Chieftain who had great skill in obstructing the way and making it difficult to pass. Many were lost in this province. The Satrap of Mathematics also was a formidable opponent- His province is well fortified by nature and he was thoroughly acquainted with all its natural defences. By judiciously placing his forces he succeeded in crushing quite a number in the mountain gorges. His favorite weapon was the nine-point circle. In the land of Latin and Greek it was almost impossible to advance. Some stuck in the translation. Others fell down exhausted and were suffocated by paradigms and constructions. King Flunk was pressing hard upon them. At this crisis they found a friendly chief named Hinds and Noble who furnished them a heard of ponies. By means of these they were able to organize a cavalry company which proved to be very efficient in beating off the force of the great king. When they reached the borders of Sophomore only forty-eight were able to cross over and enter into that country. The passage through this land, too, was frought with dangers. The atmosphere, however, was better and their complexions began to lose their green color. A new method of warfare was discovered which greatly accelerated their progress. It is called Working the Profs .
