He declined the offer, however, and has never realized anything from the game except a gold watch and chain presented to him by public subscription. - News...
Yale freshmen have no right to sit on the Chapel street fence except as a reward for beating the Harvard freshmen in an athletic contest.

There, each individual person ought to have a correspondingly shorter time, but that is a thing that but few instructors can guage. The object of the instructors is to tell men what they cannot find out elsewhere, except, perhaps, without a great waste of energy. Everyone who has taken careful and full notes of the lectures in any course knows how valuable they are to him at examination time; how many useful and terse things he has found in them that no number of text or reference books...
