"Spare the rod and spoil the child." "Pup" is the best old scout in the world as a fellow student, but my! He is hail Columbia as commandment so the cadets say. We are glad that we have not known much of him in that capacity, although some few of the lawyers have had occasion to bump into his military pomposity at the cadet hops, and in the forbidden smoking localities. The Major sure is some student, though, and doesn't know what any letters of the alphabet look like, except the first one when it comes to grades. And he is the dandiest chaperone that ever winked at the one-step.
