GRADUATES tell us of a time when old Massachusetts was entirely given up to Sophomores, when none but Seniors were allowed to dwell in the coveted Holworthy, while in the other buildings whole entries were often occupied by members of the same class. How pleasant must have been college life in those days, surrounded by friends and classmates! How easily could I forgive the men now engaged in their twentieth boxing-round in the room above, if they were in my class! And could I cherish my present vindictive feelings against the long-haired individual across the entry, who labors...
...neighbors; for the College thinks it very wrong for classmates to live together, and consequently I have here men of every class, description, taste, and habit, mingled together.

In the classics, especially, is there room for grumbling; in history...
...Until his seventeenth year, he never saw a book, sir, nor a page, nor a line, sir. He was brought up in the deepest dirt, sir, and degradation, sir." Could Mr. Bounderby himself have said more? Here was a poet in a strange shape, indeed. His origin was none of the best, and, we were assured, up to the time of his introduction to his publisher, he invariably ate his beefsteak (raw) with a bowie-knife...
