It is now learned that on Friday last the young ladies of the freshman class of Sage College in Ithica, not wishing to be outdone by the Cornell freshmen, made preparations for a like class supper. The sophomores getting wind of the affair on Friday just before supper, licked some of the prominent freshman girls in their rooms intending in this way to break up the supper. They finally relented, however, and let the freshmen out on condition that they should share their supper with them. The freshmen could do no better than consent. So, like a dish of cream with two spoons, the supper intended for the freshmen served as a repast for both classes. The young lady freshmen, however, fared better than their brothers at Cornell, for they at least had a finger in their own pie.
