...could express it. As an alumnus of the College, and an editor of distinction himself, his remarks were listened to with great interest. He was followed by Professor William Everett, who spoke of some of the peculiarities of student life in the English Universities, alluding to the manner in which students there eat together in their own rooms as worthy of imitation here. In regard to oratory, boating, etc., in which we are apt to consider ourselves far behind English students, his remarks were most flattering. Mr. F. C. Faulkner, President of the Magenta board, next responded to the toast...
...statement is perhaps here due to those who depend partly on scholarships for meeting their expenses. A condition of stopping out a year is "to take up one's connection" with the College, and this was construed by the authorities in such a manner as to deprive an applicant of the Junior year from his scholarship for the Sophomore year.

Now you know that the Catholic clergy of France are not in sympathy with any enlightenment of the people. As a result, it is as much religious instruction that is given in our schools as primary...
There is a small disreputable-looking cap, resting in a half-intoxicated manner on the frame of "Ariadne"; it and its like were called the "Black Crook." Mine was of an olive color, and faded early to a sickly green. But what glorious times have we had together! I mentally poke it in the ribs, and we laugh over that first suspension in Freshman year. Sell old hats! Get thee gone, son of Haman, or I may do thee an injury...
