Each September "Freshman week" is crowded with couplets and gags about the Harvard man and the Farmer's Daughter, and new students are imbued as thoroughly as possible with this most essential of Technology traditions. Currently the Institute boys claim to have boycotted a young instructor who had turned out to be a Harvard A.B.
