...news, such as there is now, did not exist. When the number of students was small and their interests and activities were necessarily restricted, a weekly or even a bi-weekly paper was easily able to perform the functions of recorder and commentator, the only ones then needed. What real news there was spread quickly through the narrow limits of the college. Those were the times when notice of a club meeting posted at University Hall was sure to be seen within the day by every one interested, so concentrated was college life. It was as this concentration became ever...
...that time both the Harvard and Yale crews will have had nearly a month of steady work under about the same conditions of water and tide as those in which the race will be rowed.

...object being to rob both parties of their cash and valuables, and to take my Lord's place in the affections of my Lady. Lady Allcash is bland and buxom, wormwood to her husband and honey to everyone else - is another ideal of the French school of romance. The real heroine of the drama is Zerlina, the true hearted and pure minded daughter of an innkeeper, the beloved of Lorenzo, the captain of a troup of Carabiniers, who, however, has every prospect of being rejected by her father, on the score of his poverty, till he acquires both wealth...
