The petition, which was put iota

1200 of the 3500 students in the

proposed vacation.
"We hate to refuse the petition,

Opinion

In the Princeton Alumni Weekly
of October 10. there appeared a dissertation on "Our Mother Tongue"
purported to portray the manner of
speech of Princeton men. It was
written by two young alumni. Robert Bordley and H. L. Austin, who
called themselves Mr. Physteriss.
These
authorities on
campus talk credited the Tigers
such
with colorful phrase-makin- g
as this "Beans got his stiff card,
