...step taken by the faculty in changing the hour of the final examinations from 9.30 to 9 o'clock is a wise one, and one which the students will find to be to their advantage. In the period in which the examinations come, the days begin to grow warm by half-past ten or so, and sometimes it becomes oppressively hot as early as ten even, and the gain of half an hour coming in the cool of the morning will at times be almost equivalent to an actual addition.

Winslow was very graceful and did several clever acts which required considerable strength and skill. While the judges were making their...
...Lodge reviewed historically and otherwise the benefits of partisanship and those of independence in politics. The whole speech was marked by a coolness and deliberation which was more than the product of a mere party man, and which brought out the characteristics of a highly educated scholar. By their warm reception last evening the college showed their appreciation of Mr. Lodge's ability and of his kindness in coming all the way from Washington to speak to them...
