Bewildered Freshman Adds One More to Classic Lore of Freshman Boners--Wants to Know Which Team Is Harvard

Yesterday afternoon a Freshman called down upon the whole class of 1929 a memory of all the past absurdities committed by various Freshmen since time immemorial. Upperclassmen who had begun to despair of any enjoyment at the expense of what had previously appeared to be the most sophisticated entering class on record laughed the offender quite out of countenance.

One of the typical stories told relates the experience of one newly entered student who found himself "rushed by the biggest club in the college", as he wrote his parents. The club it was revealed, was the Harvard Union.

As he drew near the scrimmaging teams he turned inquisitively to his companion. In a very loud and carrying voice he asked, "And which is Harvard?"
