...hardly seems becoming in the freshmen to engage in an uproarious entertainment in one of the largest dormitories while all the upper-classmen are busy in the depths of a semiannual grind. To have seventy lively young men running up and down stairs, or singing in a single room is a little apt to distract the minds of those less enjoyably engaged. At any other time of the year it could easily be put up with as an evidence of superfluous an animal spirits; but in examination time it is rather trying...
...dueling room is generally over an inn, or beer-house on the outskirts of the town, and at the appointed day is crowded with the different classmen. The classes are distinguished by their colors, each class having red, blue or green caps according to their rank. The different classes never mingle with one another, and it is considered an insult if a red-capped student addresses a blue cap.

All our athletes must awaken to the fact that the time for the winter meetings is rapidly approaching, and there...
With such a little book at hand, freshmen would feel less hesitation and awkwardness in making an early use of the library facilities, and many upper classmen would be enabled to go about their library work in a quicker and more business-like manner. It would unfold to many an idea of the benefits of this great treasure house of which they are ignorant, and improve their chances for a better rank. In fact the benefit would be general and a hand-book would be heartily welcomed by all alike...
