...Quinquennial catalogue has been printed since the dark ages. This language was reported on good authority to be a close adaptation of that famous tongue which gave birth to the words (since adopted as the favorite motto of the athletic committee) "Veni, vidi, vici." But, alas ! strange inconsistencies have crept in with the progress of civilization, until we doubt if even Caesar himself would take much pleasure in perusing the contents of the catalogue of the present...
