'BOOTLICKING" UVIU
Making a club Is usually considered the
most Important event in college life Not
to make a club constitutes failure, and a
mans success la measured b tho prestige
of the club to which ho Is elected In'order
to achieve this success, a, man muht repress
Ids Individuality enough to conform to the
standards which the upper classmen may
determine
"This evaluation of Sophomores by
groups of upp'erclassmen Is all the more
Inaccurate because the club system raises
n artificial barrier between the upper and
javtr classes Bootlicking1 "and the fear
of being suspected of bootlicking' prevent
friendship with upper classmen
'The original purpose of the clubs In
Princeton was to furnish suitable eating
places for the upper classes, not to provide
lor social enjoyment With tho erection of
me new dining halls, and the consequent
rrovlsion for upper classmen, the only valid
reason for the continued existence and
ftiahjtenance of the clubs disappears

These Perry
Suits and
Overcoats
were bargains at
their regular prices
At these
Reductions
they are just that
much bigger and
better investments
today!
It's a significant fact
that men on the street
said to one another a
month or two ago
"l'vrry haven't raised
their price,!" And, as a
matter of fact, we put
on the screws early in
the game, got our
prices away under what
the woolen market rose
to a little later, figured
close on the costs of
making, selling and
profit-taking, for the
good and simple reason
that we knew we'd be
repaid for it now by
the good will and con
fidence of a public to
whom soaring prices
have become a sort of
nightmare.
4J But the point right
now is this we're
selling these Suits and
Overcoats hand over
fist every day, and the
longer you wait, the
fewer you'll find with
nothing to gain by
postponement !
Better come right in!
