...they call it, wit; this week we have to call the same paper to account for publishing a statement wholly false, - a statement which no college paper should have published without first having verified it. As for our Nine, every one of them was in bed in good condition by ten o'clock on the evening in question...
...they must make fewer errors in the field! In no important game recently have they made less than ten errors, and in some many more; a fact that does not harmonize with victory, or suggest convincing arguments for success. Our base-ball article elsewhere shows a very good record of prosperity, but it also shows a total of errors that is not at all encouraging.

While the duty of the College domestic seems to be the spreading of dust at an equal depth all over the room, the servants in Beck work as if they had seen good furniture before, and knew how to take care of it. Any one who has seen the interior of rooms in that building will acknowledge that a degree of cleanliness is there maintained which is unknown in Weld, Matthews, or Holworthy...
