...college at large, I feel that the impression created by your correspondent of yesterday requires as an adtidote the public expression of an opposing view, one which is held very genially throughout the college.

The lights from the Fest Halle made long, narrow streaks of light across the dark, rushing Neckar lying far below. Thousands upon thousands of people were on every hand, waiting breathlessly for the spectacle; but none of them were visible in the darkness.
