...familiar with the events of the foot ball season recently closed, a word or two might well be said now to the men who intend to try for the team next fall. The experience of the past few years has proved to a certainty that the part of the season which can be spared for training is too short to bring a man into anything like perfect condition for playing unless he returned to college in something above the average form. Formerly, as soon as the last game was played in the fall, the players were allowed to conduct themselves...
...room would fain have had telephonic communication with the desk. As near as could be gathered his lecture was taken up with a review of Addison, the author's mode of criticism as shown in the "Spectator," an attempt to trace its effects in the German school. Part of the lecture was occupied in readings from "Sir Roger de Coverley." Those who had read Sir Roger recognize and appreciate Mr. Perry's efforts to bring out the "delicate touches" of the work. The effect on subsequent English writers, the success of the works from a financial standpoint, both were discussed...
...Tigers' ball, which took place last evening in the Mechanics' Fair building, was a grand and entirely successful affair. The building was magnificently decorated inside, and an almost unlimited number of beautiful toilets were visible in every part of the hall.

It's due time the "mortar boards" were obtained, and for a few weeks Providence assumed a very classical air, but with the advent of colder weather the hats were delegated to the shelf, and there they now rest. It is not likely that they will ever come down again...
...which the lump-sucker fish attaches itself to a stone, or that of the leather "suckers" with which urchins delight to lift pebbles. The lips of the kisser are pressed against those of the kissee, a slight exhaustion of air is caused by a "drawing" action on the part of the agent active, and the two actors in the farce are temporarily attached to each other by the pressure of the external air. The kisser ceases to exhaust the air within his mouth; the attachment is broken, the farce ended...
