...full swing, and our class has the reputation of being the liveliest that ever entered Harvard. The great thing here is to cultivate the men. Sometimes I think that many of them are not worth cultivating, - however, I have the pick of the class. Of course this sort of thing requires time and money, but I don't have to study any to speak of, and my allowance is generous, as the family are economizing in many ways. I wish the governor's business would brace up a little. I hate to have the girls give up the opera, when...
...DEAREST LILIAN, - I have so much to tell you that I can't write half. I only wish you were here. Cambridge is such a queer place, - the people are all so intellectual and that sort of thing. They carry books in the horse-cars, and the girls all talk about political economy and protoplasm. It's not a bit interesting. Their manners are exquisite, though. I suppose that comes from meeting so many students. Of course you're dying to hear about the students. Well, they're perfectly horrid. They stare at one dreadfully. Of course...

...literary magazine in college can be a success, the Nassau (Princeton) must claim the palm.

Princeton is still very bitter toward Yale on the championship question; the Princetonian accumulates quotations to prove the consistency of her position. The Acta Columbiana cheers for Yale, and one by one the colleges come into line on one side or the other; all of which is doubtless calculated to preserve good feeling. The Acta calls, for April 15, a meeting...
...thing looks feasible, Min; but you don't want to be too preliminary in these sort of things. I am a little shaky about the crew. I don't like the stroke Jennie Sinews sets : she buckets, and isn't quick enough on the recover. Then, the bow there is terrible, terrible. Sal Biceps will never make a good oar : back's too short; all her strength lies in her arms. As for Billy Pigmy, the coxswain, he'll lose his head when he sees Biddy Cooke's crew alongside of ours at New London. There! look now, how your...
