...prevent them. Last Saturday afternoon some individual coolly walked off with two fifty-dollar overcoats; how he did it is a mystery, as he must have passed in full view of the attendant at the desk and all the persons in that part of the Library. He had evidently heard that the check system was to be introduced on Monday, and thought that he would make hay while the sun shone. We believe that two other overcoats have also been lost from the Library this year, besides innumerable hats and umbrellas. It would have been somewhat better, perhaps, to have...
...lose this it would hardly pay you to come over and whip the vanquished. It is with regret, however, that we cannot take this opportunity of testing the prowess of your great "eight," for the majority of Englishmen are more than pleased to see these international contests. I have heard my cousin, who is now a Fellow, and was a Junior at Baliol ten years ago, say that your crew of '69 lacked only good form to equal the best of ours, and as your present boat seems to have acquired this, - to judge from what you say, - I think...
...adjoining booth was built entirely of plus and minus signs, and within, a series of tableaux illustrated Differential Calculus and the Binomial Theorem. The architecture of the next booth was very severe in style, and loud voices were heard from within, as if an animated discussion were being carried on.

On my return no one was to be seen. I thought I heard some one in the distance repeating, "Arma virumque cano; Trojae -"; but I may have been mistaken; and, in fact, I am a little afraid that my imagination, always strong, on this occasion completely ran away with me. However, since that time I have lost much of my admiration for my former...
...love a tenor voice! At "Jingle Bells." my feet would beat time in spite of me, and "Sally am de Gal for me" with its banjo accompaniment was too funny for anything. But I did n't intend to criticise the performance, for of course you have heard their pieces. I just wanted you to know how much the entertainment was enjoyed here, and if my impetuous nature has made my letter very girlish, perhaps it has told more than my words. I hope some time to hear just such another concert, and I am sure your Faculty will never...
