...student who fails to answer a summons from the Dean, Register, or Secretary at the appointed time, is expected to answer that summons at the earliest opportunity, as determined by the hours of the officer who summoned him, without waiting for a second summons. - Bulletin Board...

Professor Morse is a wonderful artist, and the resemblance between an embryo robin and turtle, as drawn on the blackboard, called forth loud applause. The attendance was large, and the only drawback was the miserable ventilation...
