...each class within itself, drew a marked line between the different classes. A student's friends, as a rule, were his classmates; his classmates, as a rule, were his friends; his college associations were connected with his class as a body; and when the time for elections came, he might justly have been expected to cast an unerring vote...
...attuned to the spirit of the composition, and whose memories yet retain the exhilarating tone of the Dean's afternoon receptions. The delightful little essay on Censure Marks becomes almost poetical in its phraseology, and but for a few slight trips in metre and a superfluous line we might be deceived into reading it as a sonnet.

This should certainly be done, but the reform should be carried further. The boats, with the possible exception of the sixes and fours, should be thrown into one common stock; the four separate...
