...crew received last Monday a paper boat from Waters and Sons. The dimensions are: length, 58 feet; width, 25 inches; weight, 240 pounds. This boat was obtained through the generous gift of a graduate, whose name is withheld. The interest in boating manifested by some of our graduates seemed to take the form of an eager desire to give the goddess of Harvard rowing, when she was down, a sound drubbing, and then take away what little means she had of raising herself.

...student of human nature with a fund of amusement and instruction that would be inexhaustible. I ask you, my reader, to picture to yourself a man whose sole care in life, as far as it appears, is the burden of lighting sundry fires and cleaning various boots. It would seem as if this responsibility was not enough to make him absent-minded, yet one would suppose that a tolerably well-brought-up mule would know that a day in January with the wind blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and the thermometer feeling after the floor...
