He told anecdotes in a way which convulsed his audience; he imitated the performances of orators, and would-be orators to perfection.

Of late years, however, it has become whispered that Harvard is losing this spirit of good-fellowship. It is said that the men studying at Cambridge are broken up into cliques. It is hinted that class feeling is but a tradition of the past,- and recent events seem to indicate that this statement is a true...
