...French course. We are far from assenting to this, as we have frequently asserted that French is the best taught modern language that the curriculum offers. Can one find in the German electives the carefully graded courses corresponding to French 1, 2, 3 and 4? or does one hear in all the German courses a pronunciation equally good as that employed in all the French courses? Both of these questions may be answered in the negative, and that, too, with perfect safety and unqualified decision. It is generally conceded by all who have studied German in college, that too much...
...that the evenings are growing longer, it is to be hoped we shall hear more of the Glee Club. But two concerts are given annually, one in the fall and one in the spring, which together with the informal concerts in the yard, are the only opportunities within our reach for showing our appreciation of the Glee Club's work.

When Prof. Palmer was about to leave, Harvard suddenly realized what a loss his departure would be. When Prof. Goodwin is about to leave, Harvard will undoubtedly awake to a sense...
...afternoon he was first of all perplexed by the vocabulary of two gentlemen in top hats and very pointed shoes, who sat near him. The conversation was as follows: "What are you going to grind up for Stubby?" Butterfield pricked up his ears at this, expecting to hear some sage advice as to the proper food for a young dog. "Oh, I shall give him chum's note-book and something from the reference shelves." Butterfield was startled, and then began to wonder what particular breed of dog the gentleman's pup belonged to.
