...rush up the log toward the middle. Arrived there you breathe a sigh of relief, for the unexpected show of vivacity on the part of such an apparently stolid mass has startled you not a little. For a moment you remain perfectly still; then suddenly, and without any manifest reason, the fiendish creature begins to revolve rapidly. You follow your natural instinct and keep your feet moving so as to counteract the motion of the log. It requires skilful timing of your movements, but your whole energies are bent upon the task before you, and at last, to your infinite...
...actuated in their candidacy not by any desire for the good of the College, but by mere personal vanity. We do not intend to go into an elaborate discussion, and attempt to fix the proportion which such vanity may rightly hold in each man's motives.

Next week theatre-goers will have the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Scott-Siddons once more...
...ANOTHER manifest injustice has at length been remedied. There is no substantial reason why the Junior Class should have two hours of elective work and six Themes required of its members, in excess of the number of hours allotted to Seniors; and it is therefore a pleasure to learn that the former burden has been removed. Henceforward the work of the Juniors need not exceed twelve hours of recitation a week, with the usual margin of one hour to compensate for any unavoidable irregularity. We are also glad to know that this new regulation is carried into immediate effect; therefore...
