...finished. When it was ascertained that no one had completed over two-thirds of the work assigned, the professor rose and kindly informed the men that he would allow them four hours - from ten until two - to finish the paper. The gentleman undoubtedly thought that he was doing an act of kindness and charity in thus prolonging the time, but the truth is that he had no right - divine or otherwise - to give a paper which not even the best men in the course could finish and finish well in three hours. Moreover, the length of examinations should be adjusted...

...John C. Ropes lectured last evening to a large audience in Sever 11. He said that to estimate Napoleon justly we must consider him in relation to his time. He lived in an age of transition, when it was necessary to act boldly. He did by no means take away the liberties of France, but rather united them.

...tested nitrate of silver upon himself, and had found it did no injury." Nevertheless, we believe that this committee has not attempted to deny the plain report of the outrage, as contained in the despatches of the Associated Press. The subterfuge is childish and affords no palliation of the act. Whether it be called "punishment" or "hazing" is immaterial, and does not alter the character of the offence...

...points are all childish and badly taken. He makes nothing but general statements, which are in the power of any individual to make in support of any charge, however ludicrous. What right for instance has he to assume that the men who draw for rooms do not act in good faith? Does he suppose that every man is willing to perjure himself with the readiness with which he seems to be so familiar...
