...those that can't stand it; but they are going to put me through at all risks." I was roused from my stupor by silent attendant's shaking me, and pointing to a door. Tried to go through the door, but backed out instantly. After another effort, succeeded, and found myself again in a chair; thermometer here was 30 higher, - 160 in the shade...
Solemn attendant now perpetrated a joke; my eyes opened wide at the word "Sherry," but it was only water he handed me! - joke; like the place, ghastly.

The general interest taken by undergraduates in this discussion has made us so sceptical...
...promises a fair and satisfactory choice of officers through the medium of a so called open election. If the non-society men sustain the action of the societies, we may look for the best results of a free-choice of the whole class. But evidently it will not be found enough, in order to secure these desirable results, to merely vote for an open election; for unless each member of the class votes in the spirit of such an election, with an eye single to class interests, nothing has been gained to Class Day itself. If an open election recommends...
