...from the Deanery was a five-story brick ice-house. In one end of this was confined an unhappy creature, loaded with chains. He sat on the remains of a dead and gone steam-radiator. Near by stood a tall clock which counted the hours of his captivity, except when he neglected to wind...
...will have to give up his course in History 9 for the rest of the year, and go abroad for his health. Not only has the course been an extremely interesting and instructive one, but it has shown an amount of original research that has been little appreciated, except by those students who have closely followed the lectures.

Honors in Modern Languages are based mainly on French and German. But there are no motives to urge men to a careful study of English, except the excellence of the instruction given, or love for the subject. Is our literature, then, so deficient in value and interest? Is the ability to write - not Greek, but English - of so little importance? Students of Saxon and Old English meet with scant encouragement. Honorable Mention is a meagre reward...
