The paper set for the final examination in Sophomore Rhetoric on February 21st was one which the average student was not able to answer completely in the space of three hours. Three hours and a half after the examination began a majority of the class was still in the examination-room, nor was the room empty when four hours were up. Now, since we were particularly requested in this examination to "pay attention to form as well...

...noticed Scylla picking off some of his choicest recruits. Or, to speak in a way he cannot fail to understand, he has himself made various blunders, quite enough to relieve Mr. Allen, or any other experienced teacher and scholar, from caring a whit for what he says. Our space will only allow us to mention two. Mr. Allen has translated "standing on one foot" by stantem uno in pede, whereon Mr. Reiley pours out several vials of most superior wrath, and all to show that stantem altero pede is the only proper way; that alter and not unus...
