Mostellariam Plauti in theatre Sanders heri vidimus et omnes condiscipulos nostros snadere hortarique volumus ut vel hodie vel cras videant.

Upon taking office, Mr. Jardine found that among solid Wichitans the university was considered a bit uppish. Forthwith he announced that the university would consider it a prime function to acclimate its students in the regional culture of Wichita, Kans. The Omnibus College was disowned...
