...here I must bring to an end this long account of Boswell's love affairs, for he is no longer the same man. We hear the same voice after this, but it is cracked, and the merry ring is gone. The words no longer amuse us; they grow pitiful. It seems unkind to laugh at the lonely old fellow as he flits about his former haunts, only to find new faces and unkind greetings on every hand. We have laughed at his follies; now, when the folly begins to lose its mirth in sadness, we had best avert our eyes...

...that "Confest ignorance is the way to science." If, then, the vanity of dogmatising is not overrated, we are in a fair way, I think, of becoming very much more learned on this subject of dreams. May we not hope that, in the near future, dream lore will no longer be superstition in regard to dreams; that before many years have passed we shall know so much about dreams that we may make them to order; and that the dream book will have vanished, except from the work basket of some aged country maiden of seventy years or more...

She is now mine, and were she to be unfaithful to me, she ought to be pierced with a Corsican poniard...

...utmost by the large audience which is invariably present at the winter sports. Among the faces in the graduates' seats were many that are familiar to the college men of to-day, while the presence of an occasional grey head served to show that the graduates of longer standing still retain their interest in the sports of their college days. Not withstanding the crowded condition of the gymnasium, the meeting was conducted, in the main, in a satisfactory way, with the exception of a few minor details, which will doubtless be remedied before the meeting of Saturday next. The sparring...

...dinner committee has secured the Quincy House for the Junior Class-dinner for Friday, March 20th, at 7.30 P. M. Unless 50 names are secured by Monday, March 16th, the dinner will have to be given up, as the Quincy House refuses to give us a longer time. The price will be $2.00 per plate. The committee earnestly request every '86 man who can, to sign at once, at Bartlett...
