rTorlt Initiation at Harvard.
The favorite mode of torment seem to
be to make a man go out and sell some
thing, or perform some manual labor in
the streets, Not long ago a student who
was very much in love with a pretty
Cambridge girl was compelled to go to
the home of her parent with a Jew ped
dler' pack and sell all the members of
the family the cheap handkerchief and
atrocious brass jewelry with which he
was loaded down. The match waa not
broken off, but there was a frigid cool
ness in that house until the real object
of the visit was afterward explaiued.
Another rich and Immaculate young
well waa ordered Into a ditch where
aome Italians were digging in the main
street of Cambridge, and into it he went
with pick and shovel, clad in a drees
auit, which was made part of tha com
mand. Rubber boots, an ulster and a fur cap
are frequently ordered on a victim ta the
hottest days of term time, and they must
do seen on mm whenever he appears out
side hia room. Cambridge, like other
college towns, haa become partly accus
tomed to these college vagariee, and
whenever any one la teen upon the
streets acting particularly like a lunatic
people class him at once as a candidate
for a colloge society. New York Star.
