...Limp One" by Kenneth Brown is unique, to say the least. It is a fantastic sketch of physiology class of ghouls, the "limp one" being what Is familiarly known in medical parlance as a stiff." A number of "little moonbeams" are permitted to creep into the room and they form the medium through which the story is told. The style of the sketch is that of one of Anderson's fairy stories with a lack of the latter's delicacy of expression, one noticeable defect being the constant repetition of the expression "little moonbeams...
...tints giving an admirable combination of artistic and photographic effects. The model of the glacier represents a mountainous district with much variety and detail of structure and form, including two lofty gathering basins, where the snow is accumulated and converted into ice, and from which two unequal ice streams creep down, becoming confluent in a single valley further on. The various features of the scene are reproduced with great faithfulness, from the bergschrunds at the foot of the snow slides, to the seracs, crevasses, dirt bands, and moraines, the latter being tinted according to the rocks from which they...

The influence is mischievous and distinctly unfavorable to regular work. The desire for victory is so strong that professional methods creep in, and disputes and charges of trickery constantly occur. Rowing, baseball, cricket, and lacrosse are reasonably safe, but football is extremely dangerous, while sparring is in many cases an exhibition of brute force, rather than a contest of skill. The main work of a student is to get an education...
...class, we believe, though 60 is a large number. How we did enjoy it; but how much more we should have enjoyed it if we could have had occasional intermissions of five minutes in which to rest our tired tongue. The time sped rapidly, and we soon saw darkness creep around us. We took tea at Stone Hall, in a room with twenty girls governed by matrons. They have a pleasant little custom at Wellesley meals. All are obliged to stand until every one has arrived, when there is a sudden and systematic pulling out of chairs, and then...
