...closing lines he proposes to stick by her to the bitter end. We can wish the gentleman nothing better than to live to witness the calamities and retributions he prophesies (fire and brimstone being among the least of these), because in that case he would be likely to attain to an exceedingly verdant...
...innovation in college journalism was the publication, at Yale, of the Iconoclast, a paper - of which we do not expect to see a second number - entirely devoted to a bitter condemnation of the "Skull and Bones" society.

This has at times been fearfully slack and hesitating, and has given them many a needless out. The only way in which this can be remedied is to persuade enough...
