The rush U a queer institution and to anyone but u Princetonian it would mm the most idiotic of barbarous customs, you -may call it by any disagreeable appella tion you choose brutal relic of feud alism, insane exhibition of lawless ness, but the fact remains that it has its uses and its good points.

The object of the Freshmen is to capture an old cannon that stands muzzle down in the middle of the quadrangle. The cannon has a story of tHr own, but that can be told some other time.
