The inward history of change and development is yet more significant.

Organizin'; a I parade, they maneuvered about the terrace fronting Old Main and taunt ed the inmates with cries of “Gov ernment Paupers,” and “Ruts.” In those days the dark walls of Old Main housed most of the student body After this show of spnit the “Townies” were satisfied and repair ed to their haunts on Beaver avenue where-they roomed in what was named by vhe Old Mom Rats, Forti Shivery. The residents of Old Main then took up the battle. Hauling out their heavy artillery they gathered, a representative collection of rubbish, tin cans, and garbage, and rammed iV down the -muzzles of the cannon Aiming the deadly implements at the lodgings of their enemies, a bead was drawn in approved military style, and after the addition of pow der and the application of a match, amid a thunderous roar the two stalwarts belched forth their ques tionable contents Because ammuni tion supplies had been exhausted the barncade wus lifted, but a notable military victory was gained by the Old Main Rats. With the imbedding of the impedi menta of war in concrete bases, Col lege authorities have doomed the ’imnon to a life of inactivity.
