...innovation, trembling between abortion and full bloom, is in line with House ties, House waistcoats, and even, in a quiet way, with House bells; like all these steps, it is a link in the long chain destined to bind the House tradition. Antedated by the Kirkland Alumni Bulletin, it lacks the mild appeal of novelty; but further than this, like all such publications, it has a vague taint, reminiscent of boy's club circulars, and the bulletins of Ladies Aid Societies, which is likely to condemn it in the eyes of many...
...France, was finally sent home penniless by the American Legion last autumn. The Harmon Foundation now gives him an occasional meal, provides him with canvas and paints. His winning composition shows an African head beside a heaping vase of spotted Argus orchids (Cypripedium). Such orchids cost about $2 per bloom.

Yes, "Heaviside Calculus" would be a much more fanciful subject than "Transmission of Heat," lectures being what they are, and there would be no temptation to introduce...
...less Gilbertian. A wizened-eyed little wisp of a man, he capers about constantly, kicking up such a breeze with his furious fanning that he all but blows himself into the wings. He takes frequent encores by singing the most irreverent variations on the text, translating "The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring, Tra-La" into every dialect but the Scandinavian. He expands the patter-song "I've Got a Little List" to include the more recent nuisances. Even in Gilbert's day this song was progressively altered to include the passing parade of follies, such as the "scorching bicyclist...
