Every event was properly timed, and they were carried out on exact schedule. The freshmen were forced to wear the usual green bow tie, sailor can and canvas gloves, and forced to ride the renowned lions that guard the entrance to the Art Institute. The initiates were then marched through the city hall where a. petition promoting another Chicago fire was signed by the city officials. Seeking lighter diversions, the gate of the Chicago theatre was crashed, but success was only temporary, the poor freshmen being; thrown out. aft— er use disturbance had stopped the Show.
