...fragmentary data so exultantly paraded by the opponents of higher education, it is safe to say that a college course increases one's probabilities of distinction more than seventy-five per cent. The contrary opinion arises from a popular inference that half of all men are college men and disregard of the paradox that all uneducated men are self educated...
...chief type of chairs and desks we have in University, and these represent the highest point our faculty has got in the evolution from the primitive seats of our "arboreal ancestors."

With utter disregard of all the rules of self-restraint which should govern a college ball player, these players badgered the umpire with such persistency that at last it became almost unbearable. For the sake of the reputation of college athletics, we hope that a repetition of this offence may be avoided hereafter...
