...This, I think, but a fair request, for, when more is expected than a mere answer to the questions, the questions themselves should be such that they will allow time for the extra work. When the instructor looks over the books, I trust he will bear in mind the fact that they were written, in some parts, by mortals who were prevented, by a longing for lunch, from giving up their whole minds to Rhetoric...
...regard to the arrangements for the next Yale-Harvard base-ball match. The first game will be played in New Haven, the second in Cambridge, and the third in Springfield.
