Prof. James admirably expresses the effect of the college atmosphere on a man who has the courage of his convictions. He is made to feel that enthusiasm on any subject or criticism of even the most disgraceful conduct is "fresh" or "bad form."

The effect of the "Pizzicato Polka" was somewhat marred by an unfortunate want of harmony in the brass. A very pleasing episode occured after this piece, when Mr. Cary, president of the Sodality, stepped forward and in behalf of the members, presented Mr. Forchheimer with a gold-tipped baton as a token...
