...farther. Then take Poole's Index, and hunt up magazine articles. If there are any books on the subject, don't read them; but read the reviews, for a good review contains the cream of the book all ready for churning. A half-day's work of this sort will give you material enough. Don't try to be original; originality, you know, is not popular at Harvard...
...found, and that I was, consequently, conditioned; I managed to trace the paper into the hands of the examiner, who had evidently lost it, but the Faculty insisted on punishing me for his fault. I should not trespass on your space if mine were the only case of the sort, but I find that many others have suffered in the same way.

...Freshman is a study. Somehow everybody knows that he is a Freshman, although he is quite sure he has fold nobody. It has been well said of him that he is "among us, but not of us." He is in a probation or transition state, - in a sort of Purgatory, as it were. No soft electives or voluntary recitations for him, but instead of that a hard grind on his prescribed mathematics. Yet there is justice in all things; it is right that the Freshman should have three hours more of work than the Senior...
