...party will make their headquarters at Gerro de Pasco, Peru, situated in the Andes at a height of over 14,000 feet, where there is one of the largest copper mines in the world. The town is one of the loftiest places on the globe where any considerable number of people live...
...attributes among Dartmouth men, the stronger the College will be. The evidence of the fault may be taken from less consequential things as well as from more. The presence of an additional button on the coat beyond that pictured in current tailor's advertisements, a variation in the height of the belted waist-line, a slight inaccurary in sighting the line of the part of the hair--any of these may as possible be a mark of independent thinking and presumable distinction as they may be an indication of moral turpitude or social outlawry. I submit this argument...

But the absurdity reaches the height in the last provision, which requires an American valuation. Who is to make the appraisal? Not an experienced book-dealer--and even for him it would be difficult enough;--but the ordinary customs officer, along with the tea and tobacco, rice and rugs, that daily pass his inspection.

...which he plays it, yet though it strains the sympathy of the observer almost to the breaking point it fails to arouse a feeling of fellowship. The sad compassion one feels for the miserable unfortunates of another world than ours is roused by this Hamlet because of this very height and monotony of suffering--no mere mortal could bear it without either involuntary reaction or complete dissolution.
