THE COLLEGIAN
Customs Manage To Continue
In the early Freshman Hand
bpoks, along with such advertising
anachronisms as "For good service
call at Evey’s Livery,” there was a
section labeled “Freshman Cus
toms.” The livery stable has been
replaced by the Ford, but “Fresh
man Customs” still occupy several
pages of the “Frosh Bible.”
Although customs still remain,
some changes are evident. There
does not seem to be any objection
now to freshmen sporting a mus
tache or even a full beard. Yet in
1920, “the privilege of adorning
their faces with hair growths” was
confined to the three upper classes.
After having watched freshmen
on the campus for several years,
one rather gathers that they would
object lustily if as in 1904 they
were not permitted to be out after
9 o’clock unless accompanied by an
upperclassmen.
Trousers Without Cuffs
Anticipating the change which
war was to bring into the lives of
men, the handbook in 1912 ordain
ed that freshmen could not have
cuffs on their trousers. In recent
years the roiled pant leg has typi

fled the freshman man as well as
the coed who has a passion for

The changing voices of the new
class must learn all of the College
songs. Since the early handbooks
fail to mention this, one must as
sume that school spirit was hardier
and that no emphasis was placed
upon it.
Punishments for erring fresh
men too have changed. No more
the bloody brow, beaten, but still
capable of producing such gems as
“Hatmen Lux their undies.” The
punishments contributed by Tri
bunal today are more inclined to
psychological torture.

ments for frdshman men who for
get to wear their dinks.
Distinguishment by clothing has
always' been a’ privilege of the
freshman. Not only have customs
practically-always provided for the
green dink, but the black “four
in-hand” tie is the suggestion of
the ancients.
In 1905 the rule, “Never speak
back to an upperclassman no mat
ter how great the temptation,” was
added to the list of freshman cus
toms. Although the Frosh Bible
does not list it now it is probably
still a primary prerequisite of the
happy freshman.
The College maintains two
medical units for the benefit of
its students—Dispensary and In
firmary.
