...afternoon lectures with glowing pipe in mouth, say, when they hear that no tobacco could be used "unless permitted by the President with the consent of parents and guardians and on good reason first given by a physician"? Or can any one conceive of the Bursar's frame of mind, if some of us with a love for antiquity were to revert to an ancient custom of our fathers and pay our term bills in kind instead of in cash?

Six knights in armor, with iron helmets and prodigious spears are followed by a company of foot soldiers, whose antique swords and oral shields call Walter Scott vividly to mind. A group of little children, clad in white, and with wreaths of flowers on their heads, go by singing a hymn written for the occasion. But Ruprecht I is a staunch Catholic, and the representatives of the church must not be forgotten. Here come pale nuns from the convent...
