...danger of associating with professionals, it is humiliating that the first complaint must be made against college men. The offenses yesterday it is to be presumed, were not intentional but were due to thoughtlessness and the excitement of the close contest. Under such circumstances, if an outlet of pent-up enthusiasm is absolutely necessary it can always be found in cheering the good plays instead of in hooting at the poor ones.

Not once during the whole course of the examinations has a word of complaint been uttered; but the time his come when pent-up sufferings must at last find vent in words. Neither the piano flend, nor the man who plays any of those hideously shaped, and fearful sounding instruments-whose names are known only to members of the Pierian Sodality-is here found fault with; but the man who thinks he can yodel.
