...reader who has remembrances of Cambridge running back to 1836 - the year that Harvard celebrated her two hundredth anniversary - will recall with a smile the fanciful summer garment of the students then in vogue, called the College Toga. For at least two seasons it was in high fashion with the undergraduates. It was made of gingham, of a color and pattern to suit the taste of the wearer. It was a loose-fitting garment reaching to the knees, was gathered at the neck, and also at the waist, behind. It had a turned-over collar, a small cape rounded...
...truth at Harvard, than at Oxford and Cambridge in England. Yet, unless this practice of "cribbing" or anything at all approaching to it, is promptly crushed out, Harvard will be justly liable to that offensive charge.

They were gone about a half hour when they came back, all rowing together. They rowed in fair form for a freshman crew, especially stroke, two and bow. As soon as '89 was through, the 'varsity climbed into their barge and disappeared up the river, rowing easily and slowly till out of sight. In about ten minutes '86 appeared, and crawled...
...books of all shapes and sizes, men using these are worthy of some respect, for, however poor their notes may be, they intended to do well at the beginning. Note-books in grades above these belong to the "aristocracy" and comprise everything from the ones marked "journal" on the back up to those bound to private order. The finest notes will be found in the aristocratic class of note-books, for the owners of these take pride in their fullness and neatness...
