Summer '49 Takes Barnum, Dean Kronum' at Face Value

There's one born every minute, Barnum said. And the Class of 1949 (summer installment) seems of its way to back up the claim, what with Monday evening's response to very unofficial official poster announcing a compulsory meeting for the all new Freshmen as the result of "a deplorable lack of Harvard spirit."

Sixty would be Yardlings turned up at New Lecture Hall at the appointed hour, 8 'o clock in the evening. When nothing came off, 25 of the disappointed lads decided to gain revenge on Harvey Lyon '49, listed on the poster as "student assistant" to "Dean Kronum," fictitious signee to the poster; but Lyon, too, it appears, was a victim of the successful gagster.
