Many is the man who has *' sought the bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth, " as he spoke his *^ Presentation Oration" on Class Day. Every student with a weak- ness or a peculiarity is called out on these occasions before his class and pelted un- mercifully with witty lampoons. Around the cannon have been conducted those cere- monies which the students deem reverent PEINCETON — OLD AND NEW and fitting at the burial of Euclid and other defunct text-books.
Half a century ago it was the custom ...to banish " suspended" students whose homes were distant to a farm four or five miles from Princeton, owned by a brother-in-law of President Carnahan. This was called '' rustication. " The friends of the culprit were forbidden to visit him, but it is need- less to say that this rule was enthusiasti- cally violated. Two fellows in the forties, whose nicknames were "Beach-Island" and ''Mac, " were compulsory guests at this retreat ; and while a party of congenial col- lege friends were handing over to them the cigars and other supplies they had brought to cheer them in their captivity, a narrow closet in the side of the chimney, formerly called a "catmallison, " was shown to them, and the host explained that it was a cus- tom with his boarders to cut their names on the inside of the door of this closet.
