...latter all is good. Here is a paper that is "little, but oh my!" and here one that is "decidedly fresh," and here a third that "is a credit to the institution which it represents. Such a paper cannot fail to arouse an interest outside its own peculiar sphere. We hope to see you often...
...writer claims, that the use of slang at Harvard is almost universal. To illustrate.
