Don't know. I got all the way to graduation and my advisor told me that I could not graduate because I had not taken Fresh Orient. I said, "Seriously?" They gave me a pass.
I have always loved that story. About our colors and origin.

The following year, 1895, we scheduled a game with what was supposed to be the Tulane team, but as there were not enough football men at Tulane they played anybody they could get hold of. We again employed Simmons to coach our team. We won this game.
