Anyone crossing Anderson Bridge after a big game and still retaining sufficient composure to philosophize may well compare the scene before him to certain similar parades in the French Revolution. What modern panorama is so much like the march to Versailles as the sight of those crowds which billow and surge down Boylston Street, filling every square, inch of the lane between Smith Halls and the subway walls?

In either case, the students were brought into the limelight, more so, perhaps, than their actions merited, since similar exhibitions of initiative in the regular scheduled work of the university are daily passed over unnoticed. The weary miles of study are longer than those found en route for the big game. The Cornell...
