Happily, before we could meet in martial array, it was explained that Dr. Holmes alluded to Andover seminary when he spoke of dry creeds that never learn anything. It is fortunate that the war shifted from big Princeton to little Andover...

About 7.30 the early breakfasts at Memorial Hall were surprised by the appearance of a detachment of grand Army veterans decorating, as is now the custom, the tablets in the transept. All the morning the air was filled with the sound of martial music, which reached a culmination about noon, when a procession, accompanied by much drumbeating and blare of trumpets, passed by the windows of Massachusetts, within which sat imprisoned a lot of helpless mortals busily intent upon the passing of examinations, but who found all the noise and jollification without hardly...
