Whether this last statement is strictly correct is a question futurity alone can solve; but we have a question which we doubt not the editors of the Student can answer : What is "a nine made up of extra material"? A nine containing extra material might either be a nine of overfed men, or (strange and paradoxical though it may seem) it might be a nine with more than nine men in it; but a nine made up of extra material is indeed a wonderful thing. Apres tout, perhaps it only means that the material is extra good...
...when and where these attacks originated; but perhaps the ball was set rolling by the strictures on our religious opinions made during the course of Monday Lectures by the Rev. Joseph Cook, and by the discussion concerning Young Harvard which was carried on in the Transcript. There is no doubt that the men who made these attacks honestly believed what they said, and that they spoke with more or less (we think with less) knowledge of facts.

So, as far as we can see, the alternative for a man in the top story of Weld...
...chiefly remarkable for their great development of brain. Whether this growth is due to the exhalations of a neighboring stream, or to the proximity of a battle field where, they are wont to assert, a battle was once fought, is still a matter of some doubt. A thoroughly impartial examiner might say that indications were slightly in favor of the latter hypothesis, judging from the undue pride they exhibit over certain perforations in the side of a house, said to have been made by bullets in the above-mentioned battle...
