MILLS, HEAD COACH

"TO THE IN-FANTS OF 1905:

"GREETING!

"The class of 1904, an-i-mat-ed by the kind-li-est of sen-ti-ments, has,
at an ex-pen-se of much time and thought, form-u-lat-ed the fol-low-ing
RULES for the guid-ance of your todd-ling foot-steps at this the out-set
of your col-lege car-eers. A strict ad-her-ence to these PRE-CEPTS will
in-sure to you the ad-mi-ra-tion of your fond par-ents, the re-spect of
your friends, and the love of the SOPH-O-MORE CLASS, which, in the
ab-sence of rel-at-ives, will, with thought-ful, tender care, stand ever
by to guard you from the world's hard knocks.

"ATTEND, INFANTS!

"1. R-spect for eld-ers and those in auth-or-ity is one of child-hood's
most charm-ing traits. There-for take off your hat to all SOPH-O-MORES,
and when in their pres-ence al-ways main-tain a def-er-en-tial sil-ence.

"2. Tall hats and canes as art-i-cles of child-ren's attire are
ex-treme-ly un-be-com-ing, and are there-for strict-ly pro-hib-it-ed.

"3. Smok-ing, either of pipes, cig-ars, or cig-ar-ettes, stunts the
growth and re-tards the dev-el-op-ment of in-tel-lect. Child-ren,
be-ware!
