- Bud Hagen, sophomore, is the captain of the varsity eight. The crew is returning to the clubhouse after a practice spin and several of the town girls are waiting for them, among them Dorothy Butler, who is "very sweet" on Bud. The crew and girls leave the club after the boys are dressed, and Dorothy and Bud meet the Dean. After taking the girls home. Bud and his roommates, Billie Corson and Jack Thompson, are walking across the campus when they see some freshman numerals "1915" painted high on the chapel tower. They are perturbed and after reaching Bud's room they concoct a scheme to paint the sophomore numerals "1914" on the chapel bell and steal the clapper. Bud is shown climbing the tower. The Dean catches Bud, the other boys getting away. He takes the clapper and the freshman's pennant from Bud and orders him to appear at his office in the morning. Bud goes to the Dean's office and is told that as a punishment he will not be permitted to row in the race. He goes back to the boys and tells them. At the suggestion of "Dick Larkin," their roommate, they go to the coach and tell him. He calls on the Dean and attempts to have his order revoked but with no success. Bud calls on Dorothy. She encourages him by saying that she will call on the Dean. This she does and while the Dean would like to please his little favorite he will not give in. That night in Bud's room he and his roommates decide upon a plan to have Dorothy take the Dean off for a stroll. Telephoning their plan to Dorothy the boys get in hiding, and as the Dean and Dorothy come near they kidnap him and carry him to an old log cabin. After the crew has embarked from the clubhouse, the Dean climbs out of the chimney. He dashes away and while the race is in progress rushes into the scene, snatches a pair of field glasses and discovers Bud is rowing. In view of the fact that his college is winning he loses his dignity by jumping around like a school boy.—Moving Picture World synopsis
