...comings of college life leads us to inquire into the reasons of the fact above quoted. Strange and incredible as it may seem, there are men in good standing in Harvard college who have never entered the library. A large college like Harvard must necessarily contain men of every shade, of taste and purpose. Some of us are here to get through, others for strange and unknown reasons, a few to work. It is not necessary to be a "grind," or even a hard student to become cultivated. It is of no consequence whatever what makes...
Even to a superficial observer, it is noticeable that the colors which pass for crimson are of widely different shades. It seems to me that a college color should be as invariable as the college seal.

Its appearance in a new cover would make an important addition to the newly fledged brood of artistic-looking papers...
...more charming than the long vista of elms on either side and the little stream. This was the poet Addison's favorite path and it is called after him "Addison's Walk." The broad green meadows stretch out on each side, where the deer are seen grazing in the shade of the old beeches whose boughs have and will shelter generations of noisy rooks...
