...high wind, which blew dense clouds of dust over the Yard, and kept many ladies from the promenade, together with the intense heat, made last Class-Day, as far as the weather was concerned, rather less enjoyable than some of its predecessors. Nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen thronged to the Chapel at 11 A. M. in sufficient numbers to show that that building, even with its improved accommodations, will not be large enough for future public college exercises. A noticeable feature at the Chapel was the substitution of stalwart Junior ushers for the armed policemen who used to guard the entrance...
...Glee Club and the fine music of the Germania Band. By half past ten all good-byes were said, all the ladies had departed (after a delightful day, we sincerely hope), and the old Yard assumed its customary midnight stillness, rather ashamed, perhaps, of the sorry appearance it had made on this, its gala-day, and hoping that those sparrows would come before next year...
Almost any great creation of fiction can be made out a type of something or other.

No sooner had he learned what Yale proposed to do, than he protested against their course, and it was not till afterwards that the rowing of their crew was seen. Perhaps, had he seen them first, he might have been willing...
...friend Skiapous is not a man who courts publicity, but such is his nature that it is thrust upon him. "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." This is a remark which was on one occasion made by W. Shakespeare, who has since died. Some have playfully applied S.'s remark to our friend, saying that he belongs to the first and last of these classes. Those can understand the application of this best, who are acquainted with the reasons which led to his being named Skiapous...
