...part, have taken measures for expelling the offenders, who it appears have been guilty of other atrocities only rivalled in cruelty by the above described act. One freshman reports that he was recently visited and forcibly denuded of a mustache that he had only just secured after a great outlay of time and money, and which, it was confidently believed, was the only bona fide article in the entire class. The sophomore class, we are surprised to learn, abets its colleagues in their wicked acts and threatens to withdraw from college if the penalty is enforced against the offenders. This...
