...where they did not drink coffee on the lucus a non lucendo principle. The victim of this practical joke was removed about an hour afterwards by his friends, who had the pleasure of seeing the other man carried home by his companions of the cafe, with many marks of regard. No, really on the whole, my first impression was not favorable. I was afterwards informed that since the suppression of bullfighting this little amusement has become quite popular...
EVERY one who has gone through college must have noticed a greater or less change among his acquaintances. We do not mean a "change of heart," any moral improvement, or the reverse, but a sort of intellectual development, and alteration in the point of view from which men regard life.

Cards are not only a waste of time, but evil in themselves; and the theatre an abomination...

There are two main reasons, I think, why our practice does not always follow our theory in the matter of health: First, carelessness. Too many of us consult, in regard to our meals and exercise, what we find to be the convenient, rather than what we know to be the healthful course. Any one observing the number of fellows hastening back from Memorial Hall between ten or fifteen minutes after the breakfast hour begins, must come...
