...without quorums. For a small additional consideration, too, I could secure connections with the leading theatres, and thus the wearisome horse-cars would be avoided. It may be objected that one would not see the actresses, yet, if I remember rightly, the many and excellent pictures which I have seen in the students' rooms would obviate this difficulty. Think of the resident of Holworthy comfortably arrayed in smoking jacket and slippers, his favorite meerschaum between his lips, at his side a pile of pictures from which he selects the photograph of her who is at the time singing his favorite...

This course is perfectly straight for six miles, and is sheltered from the prevailing winds by a point of land at its lower end, on which the grand stand would be erected. From the stand the whole course could be seen; and, moreover, on one side of the river for the entire distance there is a carriage-road, and on the other a railroad on which a train of platform cars would be run, during the race, abreast of the boats and in full view of them, except for a few hundred...

While the Reading-Room supplies no need in the way of magazines, it does supply...
...puffing a jewelry manufactory. It is not clear whether the editors set a high value on the merits of the advertisements or a very low value on the merits of the articles. The same paper pathetically asks, "Where is the Yale Athletic Association?" No athletic association has been seen loafing around here this spring, but that is all the help we are able to give...
