...would the fresh freshman like it if he, entering a public building, filled with a large number of people, and committing a slight breach of etiquette through ignorance, should be saluted by the audience with a lively stamping. Feelings such as he would doubtless experience in such a situation must have been experienced yesterday noon, by the party of middle aged ladies and gentlemen who visited Memorial Hall at the lunch hour. And all because the gentlemen of the party were ignorant of the rules of the hall, and did not remove their hats. The stamping which greeted them...
...strangers strictly forbidden access to the private portions of the building during the hours of exercise. Not only are such persons, even if perfectly innocent, in the way, but in case they are bent on evil purposes, the chances of success are too great in a large building like the Hemmenway Gymnasium.

Now this will, by its free activity might enslave itself to passion or ambition, somewhat as the stream, by the force of its own current, might heap up obstacles in its way; yet with this difference, that the stream gathers these obstacles from...
...Illustrated London News, as, in a book of this description, the illustrations are supposed to be of student design. If this were the only respect in which the managers of the book had erred, it would be of little importance; but they have done 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...
