Another interesting exhibition is a copy of Ovid's works complete except for the Metamorphoses. This is an Italian manuscript of the fifteenth century written for the most part on paper. About 100 parchment leaves, however, are interspersed among the paper ones. Most of these are palimpsets, or parchment which has been used a second time, the first impressions having been obliterated...
...have come and men have gone, but when faced by the doughty Plympton Street aggregation the University punsters have inevitably succumbed. Investigation has followed investigation but never has any cause been found for the defeats except the undeniable superiority of the newspapermen.

I should like to suggest to the editors, however, that when they are tired of publishing the callow judgments of undergraduates about courses given by instructors against whom they have a grudge--a practice which.
