...furniture except his book-case; and as we are more particularly concerned with this, we leave his species for the present, and shall describe the only other man who can be the possessor of text-books and nothing else.

We understand the feeling that prompts this procrastination, but cannot do otherwise than condemn it; somebody must make the first advances, and so long as a man has made up his mind to spar, it may as well be he as any one else. The Freshmen, too, have been very backward in joining; they seem to share the general fear of an assessment of enormous size: this is entirely a mistake. Out of last year's Freshman class over one hundred and fifty...
