"B. Y. O. D."

"Collier", in a recent cartoon in the Boston Herald, has suggested that crooks and yeggs are becoming more sociable; and that if they continue in their present ways of politeness they should have no trouble in "breaking into society". A hint that is timely for the Senior Yeggs who will be operating today on the embattled steps of Widener. So long as the graduating class must trespass upon the prerogative of banditry, it should do it in the most approved and up-to-date fashion. The Freshmen must not be cajoled by mid-Victorian methods; and the dignity of the Senior must be preserved … Still--

We presume that the Freshmen have ceased to throw their pennies to the gamins during the past week in order to save them up for this day of sacrifice. The invitations to the affair are marked "B. Y. O. D." ("D", says Cyril, stands for dimes or dollars--preferably the latter.); and no one is expected to "say it with flowers". Paper money, too, is better; recall the case of the Senior last year who unexpectedly received the donation of a half dollar in the eye, with disastrous results. Iron kronen are absolutely barred.

The Class of 1922, in its Freshman year, contributed the sum of $297.21--and two bad nickels--to the Senior class; it expects as much in return now that it has reached the top.
