THE CHOICE OP THE FRESHMEN
Tbis story is hy told a 'Varsity
graduate of the first meeting of
the last year’s Freshman Class of
the State University. A guileful
Settlor, after disguising himself: as
Freshman, attended the meeting
and nominated a certain Mr, Blank
for president. He spoke eloquent-j
ly of Mr. Blank’s many virtues,
and convinced all that this was the
onlji man fbr the plane. The
Frebhthcn congratulated themselves
on sec tiring such a good man, but
in the morning the story was going
the rounds that the President of
the Freshman Class was the negro
janitor of the men's dormitory.
