...victory. I now look to my spoils. I have captured this time two '88 hats and recaptured an '87 hat from an '88 man. I feel content and wend my way home. As I am about to mount the steps of the dormitory, I cast my eyes over toward the Delta of Memorial, and there I see three Freshmen standing near the statue of John Harvard, evidently up to some mischief. I watch until they are gone and then cross over to see what they have been up to. To my horror I see upon the scholarly and dignified head...
...three generations of undergraduates is palmed off as "the very last purchis which Mr. Blank made, and he was a real gentleman he was, and behaved like one."

Here the hounds were soon at fault, for mischievous boys had taken up some of the plentiful paper scent and marked out a false track toward Christ Church and into a neighboring yard. After several minutes of precious time had been wasted in investigating this trick, the hounds once more took up the scent on Concord Avenue to the Arsenal, where they all had to take the high picket fence, Across fields and roads, up Bowdoin, Linnean and Raymond street...
