The seniors wore red, the juniors came in green, the soph- omores in another shade of red and the freshmen in blue and gold. After the speechmaking the “rooters” formed the “serpentine” and twined innumerable times around the immense fire that was built in the center of the pit. Round and round they went, crowding and pushing, until after a while they drifted away from sheer exhaustion. | The speakers all took turns in admon- ishing the rooters to back up the foot- ball eleven with all their might.

You will find many men who are thus afflicted quite as well off in the affairs of the world as men whe still retain both of their lower limbs. Many of the brave soldiers who took part in the little skirmish of the sixties left the fighting with one leg, or they were wounded in such a way that they lost the limb afterward because am- putation became necessary. Frequently this condition - confronted the wounded soldier many years after the war. So there are many one-legged men who are prominent in all the professions and in all the business affairs of the country. “But I was thinking of another class of men, men who are not, for one reason and another, fitted for the more respon- sible positions in life the class of men who perforce fall into the most conven- ient grooves for the aims and responsi- bilities which beset them.
