No class now in the University has won the right to cany
ennes during their Freshmen year except '93. The Freshmen
this year have made the best showing since the rush of '90 '91
when the score was 7 to 6. We note with pride as a proof of
the friendly spirit of the contest and the self-possession of
the contestants that there was not a single foul.
The Sophomores in a meeting held immediately after the
contest passed a vote of thanks to the Seniors for assistance
vocally rendered, and decided to saw the cane into pieces,
keeping the pieces themselves and presenting the dust to '94
as a memento or the time when their high aspirations "hit the
dust".
Monday morning succeeding the rush 93carricd into chapel
a neatly designed banner rcpiescntativcof ihcir class pin, the
pin of which was reprcsenlated by the prize cane, neatly
decorated with class colors.
For the edification of those who were unable to be
present at the cane rush, we" present here a choice engrav
ing representing a scene on the outskirts of the rush
grounds. The pride of '93 "on top."
