...attempt is worthy of attention and commendation. Rampant muckerdom, regardless of the rights of private individuals and corporations, reigns supreme during the pleasant spring all over the lands of Harvard.

For instance, Virgil is made to say in "Impositi rogis juvenes ante ora parentum," "And the boys were imposed upon by the rogues in the very teeth of their parents." Another from the same source, "Hunc Polydorum auri," "A hunk of gold belonging to Polydorus." Horace fares little better...
