Saturday we finished our semi-annual grind, and it may be interesting to look about us and see how our student-brethren of other colleges have passed their ordeals. The semi-annual examination has just been ended at the military academy at West Point. Considerable surprise is expressed over the result, there being a very large number of cadets who failed to pass. Five were sent back from the third to the fourth class, and the fourth class lost a quarter of its whole membership. The first class is a small one, there being only 30 members. All of them...

...some into a restaurant and general refreshment room. The hungry man has taken to sitting himself comfortably back in one of the alcoves, with his pockets full of candy, or crackers, or possibly peanuts which he eats and crunches away at his heart's delight.
