...annual Convention of American colleges was held at the Bay State House, Worcester, last Wednesday. There was a large attendance, and among the delegates were many who have already won laurels at the oar. The meeting was called to order at 11.30. Mr. E. H. Luther, being the only member of last year's executive committee present, was elected chairman pro tem., and Mr. F. W. Whitridge, Secretary pro tem.

...with trembling hand you seek the errant key-hole, fancy that you hear behind you the stealthy tread, that you feel upon your tender neck the cold and clammy touch, of Slippery Mike. Fancy all this, I say, and come in before the lights are out.
