THE CRIME

In one of the very slightly advanced English Composition courses the other day, the instructor was reading samples of excellent humorous writing. After finishing one choice bit, very short and exceptionally well done, he called for the opinion of the class. One young hopeful raised his hand.

"It sounds just like some themes that I handed in and got D for."

One of the gold-coasters last week wrote to a young lady attending the Erskine school on Beacon Street to invite her to the Adams House dance to be held after the Princeton game. He received a favorable reply yesterday but the letter contained the following instructions:

"Before I can have final permission to go to the dance you will have to have one of the chaperons or tutors in the House write a letter to my house-mother saying that the dance will be properly chaperoned."
