Greenville, Ky.
LL.B.; Henry Clay Law Society; Patterson Literary Society; Bachelor's Club.
"Talk not of love, it gives me pain." I hail from the good county of Muhlenberg, and even in my balmiest Freshman days I saw that Arts and Science was not sufficient for a fellow of manly qualities, and matriculated in Law. I continued for two years ranking among the first in my studies and then decided to take a holiday. Since my return my chief occupations have been playing "'500," smoking strong tobacco, and writing to my girl. Lately, I have been busily engaged reading her old letters as a substitute. My college career may be summed up in the words, "Veni, vidi, vinci"--all but one woman!
