He arrives on campus and approaches a grave, reverend senior to ask where the proctor is located; the senior knocks off his hat. Willie replaces it and laughs feebly at the joke. The senior sternly tells him to take it off and be respectful to his betters. Willie obeys, then awe-strickenly repeats his question. The senior points, Willie dodges, gathers up his suitcases and exits cautiously, watching the senior. The proctor places him in a room with a senior who makes life a burden to him, using him as a valet. Later, Willie receives a box from home and a note from Sister, telling him not to make himself sick with the contents and that the family will be coming down to see him shortly. He is obliged to leave to attend recitations. In his absence his roommate discovers the box and invites some of his cronies to join the feast. Willie returns to find his good things disappearing and is enraged; his protests get him struck with the empty box. Willie takes his roommate to task and is paralyzed by being compelled to clean up the mess the others have left. Willie's family visits the college. Willie takes Sister around to see the place. His tormentors immediately want to make up and be introduced. They follow Willie and Sister around and the family to the railroad station. When the family go they take Willie to an ice-cream parlor. Willie spends the rest of the term in comfort, and as an acknowledgment of courtesies received, separately invites each of the boys to come home and meet his sister on July 15th. Separately they alight at the railroad station and growl at one another's presence. They all hurry to Willie's home just in time to meet Willie's sister and her husband coming out after the ceremony in a shower of rice. Willie discreetly slams the door in their faces and they return home vowing vengeance on him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
