...LATE writer in one of the College papers gave the results of some desultory readings in the Catalogue, and advised the public in general to spend their leisure moments in dipping into this interesting volume.

The present Senior Class numbers 192; deducting a dozen as an allowance for those who will pass degree-less from these halls, 180 will graduate; 180 X 3 1/2 minutes = 10 1/2 hours, which is rather...
