...speech or read a poem. You must know what that natural expression of your feelings is; it is not arbitrary, but, growing out of laws of nature, is as unchangeable as they. Only by the most careful application and deepest study can a man learn and apply the proper expression of emotion. Even Wendell Phillips would pace his room the night before the delivery of an oration, reading over his manuscript for practice; and on this manuscript could be seen the marks he had made, showing where to lay his accents and where to make his gestures. Surely, none...
...unseemingly shortness. In a word, there seemed to be no clear distinctive mark by which a member of the faculty could be distinguished as such. This subject has been revived at every Class Day for years, and it again provokes comment when the garments so essential to the proper ceremonies of an academical observance again appear. It seems hardly too critical to suggest that if the university is to attempt to preserve the umities those unities should display a little more unanimity...

And the port side was sadly mixed up with the starboard, so that some little difficulty was experienced in getting the eights into line. These little mistakes, however, were very natural...
...presidential torchlight procession. Remembering how important and successful a feature the drum, fife and bone battalion then was, we are not surprised at this present hesitation to sign among the ranks, as long as there is any prospect of repeating the last musical experience. We urge, however, that the proper authority may soon make it clearly known whether we are to have a drum corps, following the lead of the Law School or not. If not, signatures for class uniforms will be more rapidly gained by prompt announcement of the fact. However, if such a corps is to be formed...
