...Gaskill, '78, is trying to find money enough to get married on. Guess he won't succeed unless he employs more skill than usual, and refrains from gasing about it all the time. If we did not know him, we would lend him enough to tie the knot. We think we could borrow that much! Let your courage, wax - we were almost tempted to say something about waxing your mustache, but we remember...
...forensic that must be written tonight, for my censure-marks are frightfully near four hundred, and I don't dare to risk any more.

We do not believe that any one, however thorough his knowledge, could do justice...
...those you know are exceptional cases," said the Senior. "X. is one of those quiet fellows who never does anything but study. He positively seems to like it; and it is all very well for him, because his father is rich enough to let him study as long as he likes, and to give him a good place afterwards. Now I don't care particularly about studying forever, and besides, my father has given me distinctly to understand that it is about time I began to make my own bread-and-butter...
