The Class of "Naughty Naught." From the New York Journal.
Here's an interesting problem in phonetics, college slang and propriety all combined. What shall we call the incoming class of freshmen in the American colleges? They will be graduated in 1900, and according to custom they should be designated as the "class of'oo."
But " 'oo" is not likely to be adopted either in writing or in speech, for it lacks the requirements of a class numeral, whose sound, when sung or shouted, should have a sonorous, farreaching quality, which shall enable the classmen to make their presence or their achievements known in an emphatic manner, and there's nothing emphatic, phonetically or verbally, about " 'oo."
A happy thought came to a Johns Hopkins'98 man, who now suggests that the next freshman class shall be known as the "class of naughty-naught!" This is a typically collegiate way out of it, and never would have occurred but to an undergraduate. It ought to be a "go."
If any other college undergraduate has a better suggestion, let him send it in. The noble class of 1900 cannot be allowed to come into existence without a fitting appellation for strictly colloquial use.
