...relatives and inherits a fortune. Next to diamonds, a few thousand pounds a year is a girl's best friend. Soon, however, Jane's chilly cousin Reverend Rivers proposes marriage with the promise of a lifetime honeymoon spent preaching to unenlightened savages of India. While a man of the cloth suggests some stability, marrying your cousin just isn't cool. Nobody's fool, Jane shoots him down and hightails it to Thornfield, where she finds the mansion in ashes. As the neighbors inform her, the misanthropic Mrs. Rochester lit up one time too many, burned herself to death...

But Friday night of the week, members received the sign of the Pudding, "the strip of black cloth with their names cut out of white paper fastened to the cloth." The Harvard Book, an 1874 publication detailing much of the school's history, reported that "youths uttering in 'accents of an unknown tongue' the mystic words 'Seges votis respondet' and 'Concordia discors,' and to all questions giving...
