To prevent them from becoming homesick and to cure any that were home- sick, they were hazed by treating with a hickory stick and cold water. They were then well shaken by tossing in a blanket. By continuing this treat- ment for some time, their homesickness entirely disappeared. They were then placed in chapel next to the glorious Sophomore class, '04, with the hopes that they might imbibe some of the knowledge that class possessed. But not until they came into closer contact with the Sophomores in a flag rush, did the superior wisdom of the upper class have any effect upon them. 'When the two classes were brought together, action took place immediately. Both classes were thoroughly shaken up. and the precipitated Freshmen settled to the bottom. The Freshmen were next placed in a basket ball crucible and heated gently, until all hopes of victory were given up. It was soon observed that a great many changes had been brought about. From Freshmen they had been converted into Sophomores. The Sophomores now obtained were placed upon the dia- mond in the presence of a new and powerful class of Freshmen, and treated as before. Violent reaction between the two classes was noticed. VVhen the action spectators. Their The Sophomores ceased, most of the Freshmen had been deposited on the ground. were next heated in the flame of an Algebra examination for three hours, until all their frivolity passed off. After they had cooled down to the ordinary tem- perature and had been passed through all sorts of humiliating defeats, they were converted into juniors. The juniors were placed in the chapel half-filled with original brilliancy having been previously well-mixed with small quantities of the eloquence of Cicero, the wit of Mark Twain, and the genius of Shakespeare, each junior was allowed to stand on the platform for fifteen minutes until agitation had ceased. After this they were treated with Chemistry, Calculus, Greek and French and were found, by testing, to have absorbed sufficient knowl- edge of these branches to change them to Seniors. The experiment started with verdant Freshmen, and we have now seed them changed successively into Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. It now remains to carefully compare the properties of the Seniors with those of the Freshmen, to see if, in any way the Seniors suggest the Freshmen with which the experiment started. But accurate calculations cannot be made until Commencement. At that time the intellect of each should be carefully weighedg and by subtracting from this result the former weight of their intellects, it will be possible to determine whether the percentage gained is sufficient to give them a sheepskin.
