...senibus dementia porcis. The words indulget senibus porcis are usually translated "grants long life to pigs." A new meaning, however, was put upon them by a Junior in a late recitation, who read the line as follows: "And ancient clemency indulges the old men with pork." These two renderings might seem incompatible, were it not for the explanation of the scholiast, who comes to the rescue, as usual, and tells us that although the old pigs were spared, the young ones were invariably eaten...
...FRESHMAN sends us a remarkably witty little poem, ridiculing the Darwinian theory. It is represented as having been "dashed off" in an afternoon. Any professional copyist might have "dashed it off" in less time. It is comparatively easy to "dash off" other people's poetry. We hereby "dash off" this Freshman's name from our list of contributors...
...feelings, customs, prejudices. Every one will allow that races between University, and between College or department, Freshmen are both very good things.

...implies that we are not to be trusted, as being ignorant whereof we speak, we must protest. Was the Republican conscious that its own title to credence could not bear scrutiny? was it therefore the cunning of a thief set to catch a thief which suggested that our statements might not be founded on fact? Did it feel the injustice of charging the Harvard Freshmen with showing the "white feather" merely on the authority of a libel in the Yale Courant, that it must suspect the editors of the Magenta of equal lack of conscience? In order that...
...objection was made." From the Freshman Captain we have received different information. No sooner had he learned what Yale proposed to do, than he protested against their course, and it was not till afterwards that the rowing of their crew was seen. Perhaps, had he seen them first, he might have been willing to waive the point. The Courant advises its men to go to Springfield prepared to row, and if they are ruled out, though it does not see how they can be, to "grin and bear it." "If, however, their principle of selection is declared right, and Amherst...
