...nature and form of some of our college buildings are, to say the least, astonishing, and reflect great credit upon the ingenuity and imagination of the average student's mind.

...climate comes in. Ayres' balls are made for an English climate, and do not stand the extremes to which our manufacture is exposed and adapted. A ball will have one bound with the thermometer at 40 degrees, and another with it at 90 degrees. We have now adopted Ayres' plan of under-stitching, and our balls will not cut and tear on gravel...
