HE hostilities between the Freshmen and Sophomores, begun at the first of the year, are usually lulled to rest until the sev entccnth of March-or the night beforewhen they br~ak forth again in one grand burst of "green and yellow" fury. St. Patrick's Day is the big event in the lives of the Under classmcn. The upper classes do not take an active part. but a:t as umpires, agitators and sympathizers. The nature of the fight is determined by the class each year, and varic' in kind. In 1909 it was a general "knock down afld tie up." in which valor lay princit>ally in :1umbers. Last year it was a canerush. This year a pole fight was decided upon. but some of the Sophomores became impatient and started maneuvers at a very early hour, with the result that several of them experienced the joys of Paradi~e rather sooner than they expected. In consequence the fight next day was continued in a desultory and unorganized manner. But it served its purpose, bringing students and faculty and f ricnds together upon the campus and aiding the spirit to do its work.
