...loss of his Greek Grammar paper had two other conditions in Greek, instead of no other, and his book was never found at all, instead of being traced to the examiner's hands. Great care was taken, in this case, to have no mistake made, and no blame can be attached to the diligent Greek examiner...
...regret that in our last number the blame for not removing the German tutor, about whom there has been so much scandal, was laid on the Faculty, whereas the Corporation are really responsible.

I think that we can all see the justice of this question. If our friends come to hear a college glee club sing, can we blame them if they prefer to hear such songs as "Nancy Lee," "Sally am de Gal for me," and "Jingle Bells," to "Two Roses," "Three Chafers," and the various "Serenades" and "Slumber Songs" to which the Glee Club is addicted...
