...great hatred of impostors of every kind, and it was not very safe for any such to approach him. A man recently called on him with some manuscripts, professing to be autographs of some of the early Fathers of the church. He exposed the pretensions of several without losing his composure; but when at last the original manuscript of the Athanasian Creed, in the writing of St. Athanasius (!), was produced, he called his visitor's attention to a large club in the corner of the room, and pointed significantly towards the door, by which the terrified man made his escape...
...still in progress, the college assembled at Concord where the regular curriculum was carried on till June 1776, when all returned to Cambridge. Meanwhile, as the common soldiers occupied the buildings, the provincial Congress had caused the library and apparatus to be removed to Andover. Here they remained in safe keeping at the Theological Seminary until 1778, when they were returned to the proper places. In the fall of 1777 came another exodus.

The maul in goal from which we made our safety, was intensely exciting. It was occasioned by an intercepted kich of Cowling's who finally got the ball to the ground. In spite of the close proximity to our poles, it seemed that Henry's kicking would prevent...
...held last Thursday, it was voted that it is decidedly objectionable to have umbrellas taken into the Hall. It is understood by the Board that there is a risk in leaving umbrellas in the transept, uncared for, and it is their desire to provide some suitable means for the safe keeping of the umbrellas of those members of the association who do not wish to risk their umbrellas unwatched. The four stands owned by the association at present, can only hold together about 150 umbrellas, and it was voted to have two new stands made, that would hold about...
