...class men. No '89 man can have even the satisfaction of imagining that he has a small chance of becoming an inmate of those inviting walls. Sub-freshmen and all under-graduates, this year, will make their applications at the same time. By this change, an old cause of complaint will be removed. The main features of this system, however, remain intact. The old college hat will be brought out of the band box again, and the quarters of the undergraduate, and his sub-freshman friend decided by a lucky or unlucky shake...
