Ballads will often have a burden, especially those that are sung. This burden may have little meaning, but should be noted with care. It need not be repeated in the transcript after the first stanza. It is also very desirable that the airs should be noted, when they are remembered, and when a collector is able to write them down...
...sphere of usefulness has been proportionately increased. The Yard and the buildings in it have all been more or less improved, and the long-continued demand for plank walks has been at last partially granted. The Faculty, in its attitude towards undergraduates, has given renewed evidence of its often-expressed policy of liberality. More freedom is allowed to the students in voluntary attendance at recitations, and even the Freshman class is granted some latitude in the choice of electives.

Although you may occasionally have a seat when going in, you certainly haven't the sang-froid to expect one on coming out. If you think of coming out directly after the theatre, you find nothing but $ 75 bonnets and opera hats bobbing around in the car, and to get a footing on the front platform is more than most men expect. In the eleven o'clock car, filled...
