...Yale which leave very forcible impressions on the minds of the freshmen. These are the 22d of February, when for the first time as Yale men the freshmen are allowed to carry canes; and again in June, when, if their nine defeats Harvard, they are permitted to rest their tender limbs on the time honored and hand-carved rails. Suitable ceremonies have been held in connection with these events. It has been customary for the freshmen to provide themselves with "bangers" and to parade on Washington's birthday. The "bangers" are lawful prey for the sophomores previous...
...corporation and faculty, 'some things are sacred and must not be touched. Increase your improvements, but no matter how weighty the consideration for the change spare the college fence.' It is connected with associations that are tender and reminiscences that are rich beyond the power of eloquence or poetry to portray. The seat upon the college fence was our first title of man-hood.

Beecher is the only man in college who is a first-class quarter-back. There is absolutely no one to take his place. Wirtemburg is the best man available, but he is not to be mentioned in the same day with Beecher...
...more keenly discerned by Von Hoist than they are by some of our own writers. The fulness of the statistics in regard to various important topics is very satisfactory. We have observed but few errors; the author is not accurate in some of his statements about the legal-tender cases in the somewhat ill-judged note on p. 62, and it is a very misleading statement on p. 231 that 'Unquestionably Congress can as little impair the obligation of contracts as a State," No court could declare a law of Congress unconstitutional merely upon the ground that it impaired...
