My condition is in Greek Grammar; now, I thought that I wrote rather a good paper in that subject, last June (for Greek is my strong point), and was expecting to see "Good in Greek" on my entrance certificate. I was, therefore, much taken aback when I was informed that my paper had not been found, and that I was, consequently, conditioned; I managed to trace...
...will respond heartily to this appeal, and lose no time in going to Sever's to secure their seats. The proportion of students among the audience the last two years has been smaller than one would expect.

We trust that, whether it attempts "real college songs," as it is sometimes urged to do, or gives itself up exclusively to the more chastened delights of the Chickering...
...doings. We are perfectly aware that a story may spread from a small beginning, but when a large number of reports of this sort are prevalent for three years, circumstantially told and coming from various and reliable sources, it is safe to say that there must be a good and sufficient foundation for them. We repeat what we said before, that it would have been better for the College had the man been dismissed, at whatever pecuniary loss...
