...would not send a son there if she had one. A father, that it has great advantages, but is frightfully expensive. Our young lady friend, who has all her information from the Lampoon and from Snodkins, '80, thinks it must be a most charming, fascinating place; the men horribly bad (oh! Snodkins, '80) and delightful, and at once wishes herself a collegian. Such are some of the remarks we hear outside. College men, of course, have their own peculiar facon de panler. Of all the epithets that they use, the most remarkable is that of a "Hole." The meaning...
LAST Wednesday morning my old door-mat disappeared. The goody's one eye twinkled with malicious delight as she informed me of my loss. She added, by way of consolation, "Bad 'cess to it! 'T was always a thrippin' me up."

I have seen one or two very well-behaved people from the far West...
...intercollegiate contests, and every college, except Harvard and Yale, will row in four-oared boats. At the time of our fall races we said that the action of the Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. in making the six-oared crews inferior to the four-oared was bad for the rowing interest of the college. The action of the American and New England Associations affects in the same way the rowing interests of the country.
