...contrary there is evidence that he was fatally injured by hazing. He was ridden on a rail, rolled in a barrel and pummelled. This was a year ago. It is alleged that, although the greatest precautions are taken by the superintendent, it has been impossible to either detect a cadet hazing a "plebe" or find one who will testify against others, notwithstanding they have sworn to obey certain laws which prohibit the practice...
...series came to an end in the spring of 1880. The most famous of these past graduate Lampoon sketches are those illustrating "Rollo's journey to Cambridge" running through a whole year. By this time Mr. Atwood had acquired a peculiar style of his own which enables one to detect a sketch of his without looking for the name of the artist.

If one did no know of the fault, one would probably fail to detect it, yet after it has been pointed out, it lets us see and think of nothing else. There is a certain appropriateness in the juxtaposition of Homer and Virgil, which in some of the other windows is sadly lacking Men who in no wise belong together are put amicably side...
