But certain it is that after this dreadful order was passed, Jacobus and Guilliemus with a taste for "Plumb Cake," must have gone to bed hungry after burning the midnight oil, or else have incurred the penalty of the college...

When, however, we were asked if we had visited Wellesley, our invariable answer was "No;" but we always added that we had friends there, and had been invited out, but had never cared to go.

Each has an enameled cloth or leather pocket, in which he carries his papers and books for taking notes. He leisurely hangs up his hat and coat, spreads out his papers, and takes from his pocket an inkstand and a common steel pen. The blackened desks and streaked floors give ample proof of the catastrophes that have overtaken these inkstands in times past. An American stylograph would be an untold blessing...
