...espy any man who carries a bat or ball through the yard. From the time he comes out of Weld to the moment he passes from the gate on his way to Jarvis, the eye of some proctor is upon him. If any dare to transfer the ball from one hand to another, even if they roll it about in one hand, one acute interpreter of the college laws asserts that they are playing ball. Of course such a strict interpretation, and such a certainty of punishment in case of disobedience, awes every would-be offender. Neither...
...from exciting the indignation of the students, meet with their ridicule. A more serious bit of information has recently been given to us. For failing to hand in a theme corrected, a large deduction from the marks previously assigned is made. That, too, when the professor has acknowledged, on one occasion at least, that it was a matter of small importance.

But of all the articles those which interested us most were those on "Salmon Fishing in Canada" and "Cricket in America." The one so attracts us that, were the time at our disposal, nothing would be esteemed a pleasanter amusement than the privilege of capturing this noble fish in the streams of the Dominion. The other is a timely article on a game which in this country is gaining ground slowly, for which, however...
