NOTE
Some of the people in this book have already appeared in one or two others. "Poler" Stacy was in "Princeton Stories." So was his friend Stehman, a football man; there is a whole story about him this time. Another athletic type, a different sort, named "Deacon" Young—the hard-studying, self-supporting sort—was the hero of a whole book called "The Adventures of a Freshman." Here he appears briefly (in a Broadway window) at a later stage of his career—but still serious; he always will be. Some of the rest may be remembered by those who read the books referred to. Other characters are new.
