...peculiarly worthy of study as a type of pure freak, which occurs like the seven-year locust, at regular intervals. History reports it appeared before as a hybrid insect, related to the late frivolous sheet, "The Harvard Magazine", or the "Mag". There are other instances with which it is needless to irk the student (or if there are not, the art of pseudology is at fault...
...mention it. I never really wanted it anyway." By keeping his head in this particular case, he remains on the right side of everybody, for even the waitresses sympathize in his bereavement.

For one or two annual meetings of a comprehensive...

They cannot be disregarded, yet coming, as many of them do, at the end of April and beginning of May they form an interruption which seems rather needless. If the arrangement, already adopted in some courses, permitting Seniors to postpone their regular work, and to combine it with the later requirements, were made general, nothing would be lost and the re-apportioned time would prove a blessing to many men who must try to cover two fields at once...
