'SHOW wonclerlulf, we have hearol some inclivicluals remarlc, uthinlc of the suspense. Wilson's Wlont Alto Day suf- lers by contrast-no suspense at allf, How ricliculousl As a matter ol fact, if these incli- vicluals will exercise their powers ot olaservation and their imaginations for a lew minutes, we are sure they will agree with us that the suspensef-in various forms-1 is the Uconnective tissueu of lVIont Alto Day. First ol all the freshmen, who have never been to hlont Alto on uthen clay, are eager to verify some of the tales with which the sophomores have loeen Hstullf- ingu themg the sophomores cannot wait to set the fresh- men to catching grasshoppers in retaliation for the alllictions of last year's sophomoresg there is always an upperclassman or two cleloating Hto go or not to gon in the lace of an overpowering staclc ofymore or less'-1 imaginary worlc or a headache: and the weatherl Every wisp of cloud sencls a unanimous shiver through every lauilcling anal prayer rugs come out to petition for, rain on Saturclay, if you must, lout clear lay Nlonclay- pleasef, Then there is the clecision, once you are there, of whether you will hilqe, play loaseloall, or Watch it, or continue to clance, or just sit ancl tallc.

DAY you so hungry you wonder if, as at the feeding of the five thou- sand, a miracle will have to occur to satisfy you. The miracle al- ways occurs. And after lunch the speeches-it is always a won- der to hear people speak so charmingly and amusingly - and effectively-about nothing. Then, too, everyone is anxious to know how this little pet custom will he received hy the initiates, who this year included the president as well as the freshmen. But, of course, everyone always likes Wlont Alto Day. Last of ali, when you come home, you are very dubious in- deed as to whether you will he ahie to stay awake long enough to study for that written. The suspense, you see, lasts until the next clay. It is quite olovious now, we think, that Vviisoifs Wlountain Day has the advantage in mat- ters of suspense. Even if it had not. who would want to change with any other college anyway?
