...uniformity was noted in the gowns worn by the members of the faculty. One peculiar garment greatly resembled an alpaca duster minus the sleeves. While some voluminous robes swept the pavement others crept up to an unseemingly shortness. In a word, there seemed to be no clear distinctive mark by which a member of the faculty could be distinguished as such. This subject has been revived at every Class Day for years, and it again provokes comment when the garments so essential to the proper ceremonies of an academical observance again appear. It seems hardly too critical to suggest that...
...fitting then, as we have said above, that Graduates' Day should end our celebration, and the greatest zest and energy will mark to-day. There is no anti-climax. The Law School has done her share, the Undergraduates on Saturday showed themselves worthy of the name of men; yesterday all joined in obedience to their religious instinct, but to-day we are to see a feeling of brotherhood and cordiality rule supreme throughout the Harvard domain. Hearty hand-shaking on every side, memories that have slept during many years of work and thought, will be brought once more vividly before...
...very apt in this part of the world to trace every thing back to the "Mayflower," and there is no small reason for it now, when we consider how signal a mark our great mother University on the Cam has put upon this region about Boston harbor and its affluents.

If there were a little less of that unworthy spirit of which we speak and more cordiality and honesty...
...lofty hill across the Neckar, and there I took my stand in the garden of the Philosophenhoche. Gradually the daylight faded, and starless night came down. Heidelberg was only a confusion of twinkling lights, and on the vast black hill which loomed precipitously behind it there was nothing to mark the location of the castle. All was impenetrable gloom. The lights from the Fest Halle made long, narrow streaks of light across the dark, rushing Neckar lying far below. Thousands upon thousands of people were on every hand, waiting breathlessly for the spectacle; but none of them were visible...
