- StarsWilliam Robert DalyCollege pranks furnish material for amusing stories and the circumventing of the faculty has taxed the inventive mind of many a student. In this case Professor Jenkins and his co-laborer, Miss Penelope Grim, keep a tight rein on their respective charges, owing to the proximity of the sexes. The young people resent this and decide to outwit the instructors. The girls have prepared a little spread in the room occupied by the ring leaders in the scheme and they cast about to devise ways and means to smuggle the young men into the apartment. One ingenious mind suggests hauling them up in a basket and the idea is acted upon immediately. A large basket and a strong rope are secured. The basket is lowered over the window ledge and the plan works admirably. The young men are hauled up in rapid succession, but the return trip is made once too often, for the basket is sighted in midair by Professor Jenkins, and he takes in the situation at a glance. His advent into the room containing the hilarious party is like a bombshell, but the instructor proves to be a good fellow and enters into the spirit of the occasion with a zeal that is appreciated by the students. Miss Prim, passing by the door, has her suspicions aroused. She enters, but there is a complete metamorphosis, the young men secreting themselves, the professor being chucked under the couch. She exits not quite satisfied that all is well. The professor emerges from the escapade without being suspected and is balled as a jolly good fellow by the students.
