Drays loaded with special features were placed along the sidewalk, while mounted officials galopped hither and thither pushing and driving the restless crowd into shape. Much merriment was caused at this time by the freshmen lighting their torches long before the parade began, and thrusting them into each other's callow faces, and under the spectators' noses with childish glee.
