It is as ugly a building as one could meet on a week's journey, and yet by an infelicity all class pictures are taken on its steps. Freshman courses are given in the basement a French class once in particular. Sometimes, when we were sunk dismally in the irregular verbs, bootblacks and old-clothes men stopped on the street and grinned down on us.
"Why, it's only five years ago I was hearing that you were the best little lady on skis and skates at the West-Highlands." Her eyelids quivered at the word. "That year yes," she said and averted her face. "You mean " I had to prod, there was no other way about it "that you only stayed one year?" She nodded. "My Freshman year prep school." "And then ?" "I was needed here." "Your father ?"
Then Elizabeth Wade, the other hostile freshman, said slowly: "Girls, I am inclined to think we have been imposed upon. Miss Pierson, I will be perfectly frank with you. We knew nothing about the note. Personally, I consider it an outrageous thing to do, and in direct violation of what we are taught regarding college spirit.
"Where did you see them?" asked Elfreda, exhibiting considerable excitement. "On the front porch. They had evidently been making a call on Kathleen." "Then look out," predicted Elfreda. "They began back in the freshman year with me. Last year it was Laura Atkins and Mildred Taylor.
The first-fruits of fame are sweet; and as an Athenian might have regarded an invitation into Olympus, so Miss MacLauren looked upon this opening into Platonia.

On one historic occasion he decides that the entire freshman schedule shall be changed, for one day, from morning to afternoon, in order that a convention of Massachusetts school superintendents, meeting in Boston, may hear the Wellesley students recite their Greek, Latin, and Mathematics.
The plucky little freshman had refused an invitation to spend the summer with Arline Thayer, but had accepted a position in Overton with a dress-maker. The last two weeks of her vacation she had promised to spend with Arline at the sea-shore. Their last morning at Overton dawned fair and sunshiny. Grace, who had risen early, stood at the window, looking out at the glory of the sparkling June day.
Cora was not here to foil or trip her. Corinne and the junior played fair. Before the older girls reached the rounding stake, Nancy flashed past them. The junior spurted, came even with Nancy for a moment at and turn, and then dropped back, to become a bad third in the race. She could never recover after that spurt. But the French-Canadian girl held on grimly. Slowly she crept up on the freshman.
A college is a place whose chief power is to inculcate humility by the means of true learning; to establish intellectual honor and integrity by searching out the ways of God in nature, science, and philosophy, and in letters and in art. It is the primary work of a university to make men humble. The Freshman is not teachable. The Sophomore is an intellectual upstart.
Given an opportunity for revenge, she believed that Jane would scorn to seize it. "Have you invited your freshman yet?" she asked with sudden irrelevancy. "No, I haven't had time to see any one of them yet," Jane answered. "I asked Miss Lorimer, a cute little girl from Creston Hall, this morning after chapel, but she said she'd already been invited," informed Judith.
