...rather ill-disciplined patriots who used the college fence for kindling, stole the curtains out of Holden Chapel, and disfigured Hollis and old Stoughton. We learn the true history of that first President who beat his assistant unconscious with a club, half-starved the boys, and cheated to the tune of thousands of pounds. From this poor beginning we watch the academy grow to a college, and the college to a University, are present at the fights to found the first Medical School in America and the first Law School in the world. Suddenly, we find ourselves participating...
...survived, proof enough of a strong constitution. What is more it has burst generously. First it offered, through the Alumni Bulletin, a prize for the best suggestion of a subject for discussion offered by March 1, 1924.

From the manipulation of this toy a considerable part of the rudiments of music can be learned...
...This might have been foreseen, for moral effort, when at an end, gives way to moral lassitude; and to hold the spirit on a lofty plane amid the sordid cares of peace is harder than in the actress of war. To do so we must keep our thoughts in tune with those who gave their lives upon the field, and died in glowing fervor for the cause they served. Without their courage, without their steadfastness of purpose, without their belief that the scourge of war can be taken from the earth, their work cannot be carried...
