...light and thrown into sharp relief. Far beneath us twinkle the lights of Heidelberg, from whose distant streets a gentle murmur is upborne. About us are throngs of students in their bright colored caps; old veterans are clasping each other's hands and recalling by-gone days; grave professors grow ruddy and boyish; the younger students sing snatches of college songs; and limitless beer is flowing, together with Rhine wine as yellow and bright as fluid gold, hoarded for many a year in sunless vaults. Glee, good fellowship and merrymaking are the order of the hour, and it will...
...beginning to grow dark, play was resumed before the expiration of the usual time allowed between the halves. Brooks dribbles the ball to Harding, who is downed after a short run.

The fire scene in the fifth act is, as stated on the programme, "one of the most realistic scenes on the stage." The other members of the company are only fairly good...
...antidote for sulphuric acid?" But we are informed on excellent authority that there was no professor in the room at the time, and that the experiment was undertaken out of regular hours, when not even an assistant was in the laboratory. We do not expect that Dr. Brooks will grow rich from a suit, the cause of which is due to his son's carelessness, if to anything at all criminal, and not to any manner of means to the fault of Harvard professors...
