smoothly finished, steam

His purpose lu J'rluceton was hence

he was reading, thinking and writing

and there was no doubt tu anybody's
mind that he would represent the hall
and win the prize. The subject for

was "Tree Trmle Versus Protection."

drew out a slip which required him to

Princeton was famous for the pranks
of its students. On one occasion they
had taken a donkey to the cupola of
Nassau hall. Every class considered.

way with the clapper of the college
bell. The '78 class wore the mortar
board; the '70 s did not. Wilson ridi
culed '78's headgear.
Wilson lived first at the house of
Mrs. Wright. One of his classmates.
Bob McCarter, who also lived at Mrs.
Wright's, tells of n certain evenlug
when the two were engaged in Wil
son's study In a quiet game of euchre,
a forbidden pastime in those dnys.

McCarter swiftly swept the cards out
of sight under the table and went to
the door. Before he opened it he turn
ed his bend for a moment, the thought
flashing over him that the conscien
tious Wilson might have put the cards
back in plalu view on the table. But.
what he saw was Wilson reudiug the
Bible.
At this time it is recorded that he
weighed 150 pounds and stood five feet
