The Sheff. “ Rush.”
The wrestIng matches between the
Sophomores and Freshmen in_ the
Scientific School, which, like those in
the Academic, are the sole survivals of
the old time rushes, occurred last Satur-
day night. In the lightweights, Grey,
1900 S., overcame Verrill, 1901 S. the
strong man. In the heavy weights
Richards, 1900 S., won from Hurr, 1901
S. The middle weights Clapp, ’99 S.,
threw Knowlton, 1900.
_ A large part of the Scientific School
joined the parade which started for the
grounds on Cold Spring st. at eight
o’clock. The line of march was
through Hillhouse ave., Trumbull and
Temple streets to Whitney ave. The
Second Regiment Band led the proces-
sion. A score of students burned red
fire and shot Roman candles, and a
very grotesque and not altogether
pleasant effect was given by the cos-
tumes of the vanguard, numbering
thirty or forty, who tried every form of
unbecoming and highly colored array,
which is affected by either sex.

That’s the synonym, in the vernacular
of Yale, for satisfaction to the inner
man.
Not only when economy, real or
fancied, has been practiced at the
expense of digestion and with a
daily threat at appetite, but even
when well pleased with his “joint,”
the student seeks about so often

That only indicates how things have
been: done at this well known hotel
_ for the more than a quarter of a
century in which it has been under
the management of Mr. Seth H.
Moseley and his son, Mr. William
