In marked contrast with last years “scrap” with the powers that he in Athens, was the boil-fire last, Wednesday night. The authorities were while about the matter, and almost no difficulty was experienced in piling up a good lot of boxes near Phi-Kappa Hall. From some mysterious source, a j barrel of oil came forth, and with the addition of this, the fire was a success. After a few ’Varsityyells, the fellows dispersed. Enthusiasm was certainly lacking, for the rea-! son that in the mind of each of us, there lurked a suspicion that there might not, after all, be enough vietory to justify the celebration. In fact, a certain pessimistic Senior said as much, and darkly hinted that the pile should not, therefore, be touched off. He was promptly answered that the gang were out for sport and sport they would have. He was further assured that if necessary, he would be slung on lop himself, as we were “burning all sorts of boxes.” Whereupon he subsided, and the good work went on. These little things (wo mean such as the boil-fire, of course, not the Senior), are useful, as they bring out the men and get them to going and yelling together. More men, should have come out. It’s good to yell. Good practice for future emergencies when we’ll need it, and anyhow it's good to impress the Freshmen with the fact that we’re all here together with the same aims and affiliations, and that the more we stick together and work together, the better it is for us all.
