...buildings. While the partisans of the red and the white roses, or rather of Lancaster and York, were busily engaged in the conflict that eventually put Lancaster upon the throne, they did not forget to found Queen's College as a monument for future generations. E Asmus was a fellow of this college. A peculiar bridge, the mathematical bridge, leads the writer at Queens College to the other side...
...regretted. Of course under certain circumstances, such as sudden illness, leaving the room during the lecture is perfectly excusable, but for a man to leave simply because he finds the lecture rather dry or because he is rather sleepy, is rude to both lecturer and fellow students. If a man goes with the idea of leaving in the middle of the hour, or soon after the roll call, to say the least he shows himself off in no very good light. So much for courtesy among the students.

Robertson and the saintly Helm, the author of the hymn, "From Greenlands lacy Mountains," were students of Brasenose College. And so on I might go, but the list of great names is almost endless. Every building is historic, and every walk...
...enlivened with music by the Junior Glee Club. Although the exercise were rather rough on some of the recipients, it seems that all entered into the sport with much spirit. After music the first thing was the presentation of the Mirror, a suggestive present to the best looking fellow in the class, by the one upon whom nature has wreaked her vengeance to such an extent as to make him the homeliest. In the Presentation of Honors of '86, the homely man failed to appear, so a committee was sent after him. He was found in his room...
