Show I IA c 1 J A l letter tf r has has has' been bee received from Prof Prof ii Lyman LYnian who is now attending Cornell uni- uni He writes several things that wj will l be of interest to the students at the j Varsity We vVe might suggest that some of the ideas could be adopted much to the advantage of our Freshmen Prof Lyman says Stra Strangers who come here are always interested in the little gray caps which h are worn by the Freshmen It is generally generally generally gen gen- understood that these are worn forone forone for forone one or all of the following reasons Because Because Be Be- cause canse the Freshmen are afraid that if they do not wear some some special mark they will willbe willbe willbe be mistaken mistake for upper classmen or professors professors professors pro pro- or because of the rumor about the campus that at a mass meeting of all the theold theold theold old students it was decided to compel all Freshmen to wear these caps or finally they may be worn so that the headgear can be put in the pocket while c classes asses are going on without doing it damage It has been a matter of wonder to me why these caps are taken off in the classroom at all If worn they would certainly not obstruct the view in the least for those behind behind behind be be- hind and the tea teacher her would never be able to tell from the front that the members of his class had caps on The only places these caps can be kept are on the floor on the head or in the pocket for for hanging one o of these little circular pieces s of flat cloth in the hall would be like hanging a plate pie-plate on a nail r. 1 As t to the way students ts conduct them them- themselves liem t selves here at at their football games I can a only tell you what hat th they y do lo in in times times' of f defeat t for d' d during ti inCY b. b th this vh s' whole le s season son Cornell Cor Cor- or 1 nell h has not b been 1 1 vi victorious I i V t j ri i- i in one one e of h her heat t fl J 0 I football al When 1 a good goodgame big g games 11 al alt v t rn game is to to ih be th the st student band leads leads a alon along lon long po procession essi n of five or 01 six abreast bre t through the streets and then to t tle fe fie field d. d Admission to o the game is IS on one dollar reserved re reserved re- re te served seats cost cost- tW twenty five t ve and arid fifty cents extra Those in the procession enter th the field and give several good vigorous vigorous vigorous vig vig- orous yells veIls before the line of march is broken The band furnishes music fre- fre frequently frequently during the game This band a good one indeed is one of the important elements in ill the college life of this uni uni- uni- uni At At the football games as at all demonstrations demonstrations demonstrations dem dem- yell masters asters are located near the front of the crowd who announce wh what t to yell veIl and then beat time while the crowd S snouts shouts lOUtS There are so many at these games that all cannot shout well together together to together to- to gether therefore they shout in sections one section following another so quickly with its yell that even when being defeated defeated defeated de de- good cheering is kept up almost constantly The scene at the end of our game with with the Carlisle Indians filled me with a thrill Cornell was playing on her own field a shout had been given for her team in nearly every minute and yet she lost After the game the victorious team of comparatively little fellows with their substitutes yelling more like maniacs mani mani- acs than Indians jumped up and down in inthe inthe inthe the middle of the field for a few moments then ran to their dressing By this time Cornell had collected in front of the largest grandstand where they stood with bowed heads The whole crowd arose the men all removed their hats and then together they all sang the Cornell college son song When it was finished finished finished fin fin- the C Cornell rnell yell was given It If was this song and this shout this loyal support given to a faithful though defeated defeated defeated de de- team that filled me with a thrill |
