Quite frankly, we are rapidly getting bored with those enthusiastic Freshmen who find a tasty repast for the athletic field in the young ladies from Miss Winsor's. Our Romeoetical complexes never have been satisfied by plump maidens, attired in healthy bloomers, who shriek with delight as they force their Lotharios to wallow in the mud. It is too reminiscent of the gentleman who told us the other day that he was fond of one girl when he was unable to tell whether she was male or female...
