...that effect was published in our columns. While we still think that was the original intention of the faculty, for some reason or other they were compelled to change their plan. The text of the new warning differs from that of the old, in that it contains a hint as to the time when the recipient began his downward career, and intimates very plainly that further neglect will get an admonition or something worse. In typography and press work, the new issue is fully up to the standard...
...depot in ample time for the Portland train, and unloaded their freight into a couple of drawing-room cars. These immediately assumed a character which it is safe to say they never before dreamed of. The report along the line that a menagerie had "broken loose" will give a hint as to the character meant. The grave senior, unused to aught but dignity, unbent his brow into a smile and shouted and sang at intervals between puffs at his cigar.

They are mature...
...something that looks very much like deliberate plagiarism. As one looks at the " eating club" illustrations, he is astonished to find that one on page 142, is merely a sifting together of the figures in two of Atwood's famous sketches in the Lampoon, without so much as a hint at the authorship of the design. As this looks suspicious, the reader will look over the book again, and lo ! on page 106, the young lady playing tennis will be seen to have been deliberately copied, line for line, from last year's " Liber Brunensis." One would think that Yale...
