...pronounced broken, and he was taken home unconscious. Yesterday he was feeling much better. The faculty of the School of Mines held a meeting the next day, but nothing was said concerning the rush, and several of the Professors, including the Dean of the faculty, said they had not heard of the accident.

When we consider the grave trouble at Princeton some years ago, and when now we hear the reports of unusual illness at Yale, we have reason to congratulate ourselves that Harvard has for years maintained the reputation of being a perfectly healthful place.

...that either before or after that time it is most potent to rouse all the innate evil of which that savage breast is capable. Study is quite impossible when a tuneful youth, lost in musical devotion, is giving vent to a series of efforts which cannot but be easily heard even from afar off. When more than one is performing, as sometimes happens, the effect is indescribable-it is really unique. But, in all seriousness, men ought to be more careful how they break the rules in this respect, for any such violation results in a great deal of annoyance...
