...Harvard. We enter the Browning room. There is an Amherst man over there. We stare at him. He becomes confused, but our further triumph is cut short by the questions of the fair ones. "Do you have rooms like this at Harvard?" "Oh, yes," we reply, as we gaze aghast at the oil paintings, damask curtains, satin upholstery, and statuary that surround us. Here a suppressed sneer is heard and we at once move out into the corridor. We go to the library, a wilderness of black walnut shelves, glass doors, carved tables, Ouida's novels, and long haired grinds...
...entered the next room, and here something met our gaze which very much puzzled us. It was a large cylindrical tin box, over which hung, suspended by an iron rod connected with the shaft over head, a huge steel blade. We gazed upon it with horror; it carried us back to the days of the French Revolution and the guillotine.

This 1,500 represented the personal friends of the contestants, and graduates and undergraduates...
...hose"-and turn on the water. Armed with large tack hammers, the firegirls will break open doors and windows and place step ladders against the wall of the burning building to assist the inmates to escape. That the firegirls should actually ascend the step ladders in the full gaze of the public, and while the fierce light of the fire plays about their ankles is, of course, unthinkable. Hence it is difficult to see how they could carry the hose-we should say water pipe-to the upper story of a building, and how they could render much service except...
