To be sure there are certain advanced courses which a man can take if he pass off his freshman work in them, but these are not always taken. Bad habits of study formed in freshman year are very apt to extend all through the college, and anything which cultivates this tendency is not in any sense an advantage to the student. But more than this is the loss of comparatively a whole year and one too of the most importance in a man's life. Of course it must be admitted...

...gradually acquired a slant of some twenty degrees some time since. A knotch was cut in the side of the pile about three inches deep and in this an upright brace was fixed upon which the sleeper running back into the boat house rested. This sleeper did not extend as far out as the pile, but was mortised into the tranverse beam extending along the front of the platform which supported the lower platform and the pillar running up the upper platform. This pillar, however, patched as it was, did not rest entirely on the transverse or facing beam...
