Many a junior, too, will remember the sudden increase in alacrity with which he surrendered his shovel to some new comer and silently became absent from the cold field after a mauvaise quarts' hear of shivering labor. Well, the field was shoveled, despite the alarming number of desertions, and the men to whose efforts this great work was due, watched the subsequent game with Yale with feelings of well deserved satisfaction. The elements may be against us, but to paraphrase "Life," "Praegelida set dies cum Harvard sinistra...
