Sever 11 was filled yesterday at the occasion of Professor Goodwin's first lecture on "Plato, Socrates and the Sophists." The lecture was intended more particularly for the freshmen who are about to begin the Crito and the Apology, but it was likewise enjoyed by a number of upper-classmen and instructors. It is from Plato and Xenophon that we get all our knowledge about Socrates, his philosophy and his personality. It is hard to state in terms what was Socrates' philosophical scheme.

How can a team be expected to do well unless it sees that its class is interested and anxious for its success? I do not like...
...unless it rains, hails or snows, provided he be on foot and have not both hands full" ; "No freshman shall speak to any member of the upper classes with his hat on, or have it on in an upper-classman's room, or in his own room when upper-classmen be there" ; "All freshmen shall be obliged to go on errands for upper classmen, but only out of study hours." Life must have been a solemn matter in those days, for Latin was the only language in use in the college yard, no other language being allowed. Every hour...
