This provision enabled congenial men to any number up to 14, to live together, making their Senior year by far the most pleasant, and leaving the Yard in their memories as the scene of what was most enjoyable in their life as undergraduates.

A track will be provided for clean-limbed young runners, for whom splendid prizes have been procured...
...gates of the great Senior County Fair swing open this evening at 9 o'clock, a scene of unparalleled splendour will burst upon the atrophied optics of the throng of ticket-holders.
