...muddle at Dartmouth College over President Bartlett: "It is matter of common knowledge," says the Post, "that the feeling over this question has become very deep, and that it has quite destroyed the old kindly, social life at Hanover, though it is not allowed to reach the students, and ostensibly everything is quiet. The only place where the contest can be fought out is in the board of trustees. We infer the majority think President Bartlett will live the opposition down and weary the alumni into indifference and subsequent forgetfulness, but we think they under-estimate the strength of their...
...tower" we were allowed to pass through the forbidden door "into the loft." This abounds in unfinished woodwork and undisturbed dust. Through the middle runs the picturesque ventilator, which might be converted into an elevator for passengers to the tower (two cents a trip). After much climbing we reach the balcony (where the pigeon holes are), and here the elevator ends and the misery from coal-gas begins.

The growth of such a feeling is, we think, coming naturally in the course of events. Inter-collegiate sports, races and meetings, in one direction, are tending to foster this growth. In another, the widening feeling among college men, and college graduates, that they...
...that any lover endowed with tolerable agility could vault to the side of his mistress with the greatest of ease. The window could clearly be high enough to warrant Romeo's employment of "cords made like a tackled stair" - that is to say, a rope ladder - to reach it. There is truth, however, in the statement that Irving's several attempts to reach Miss Terry's hand, "which is just out of reach, and his desperate clutches and frantic gestures, approach within a dangerous distance of the ridiculous...
