There are several fool-proof methods of determining precisely the arrival of spring in Cambridge. First, and foremost, is the celebrated Frisbee Factor, which, as all physics wonks know, is equal to the number of frisbees (genuine Wham-O's, no cheapie imitations allowed) that one spots floating in the Charles or caught in trees multiplied by the square root of b2 -- 2ac over 4a. If the number derived from this ridiculous, and practically useless formula is more than the number of swimming stories appearing in The Crimson during a one-week span, then spring has definitely arrived-accompanied, with...
...student attention, it is perhaps time to turn inward and examine more closely the constitution of this University. There is much that is wrong.

To this pack of 56 were added a further 22 divinatory images -the Tower, the Hanged Man, the Fool (who is the ancestor of the modern Joker) and so on. And from that basic deck evolved the standard 52-card French pattern of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs that has been used, with variants, ever since the early 15th century...
