...wear, opened, through its advertising columns, new and alluring vistas to the smart (sartorially) student. These merchants have it would seem, sox innumerable--not the common or vulgar type of sox, but something entirely different and revolutionary. To wit:--sox with the name of the wearer's alma mater embroidered, sewn or woven on the sides, where the clock usually runs. Thus, one sits down, adjusts one's trousers, crosses one's legs--and Jo! there is a Yale, Princeton, Michigan or what not man.

His father, Mr. Arthur Hutchinson, F.R.S., is or was till lately Tutor of Pembroke, and his uncle, Sir Arthur Shipley is, Master of Christ's. It was to this college, the Alma Mater of Milton and Darwin, that Mr. Hutchinson himself went, when three years ago he first came to Cambridge. Here he has studied history with a viger and an earnestness that sometimes dismays his friends who try to lure him away to coffee in the middle of the morning. One of his first recorded utterances...
