The girls put us up luncheons in little packages, which we stowed in our pockets.
Wayne had indeed been relegated to the fifth rank of college baseball teams. On Monday announcements were made in all the lecture-rooms and departments of the university, and bulletins were posted to the effect, that President Halstead wished to address the undergraduates in the Wayne auditorium on Tuesday at five o'clock.
