...pleasant for you Boston men, but it has been a sober day for me. I did n't mind being turned out of my room, but it was rather hard to be kicked out of Memorial Hall by two infuriated college officers, after I had stolen up through the cellar with the hope of avoiding the rush at the door. Such treatment, ruffles the dignity of a Junior, you know. Of course I liked the exercises, but the Seniors did n't look sad enough, and seemed to take parting as a matter of course...
...bore you with some very sage advice, of which I sincerely trust you stand in no need. You are, by this time, fairly introduced to life at Neophogen, and are probably piously thanking Heaven for casting your lines in such pleasant places. Societies, flirtation with your classmates, the eider cellar, are before you in all their fascination. You are having your first taste of the gayeties of our Alma Mater, and as yet have hardly had time to stop and think. Now here my sermon begins.

Immediately after getting out of a warm bed, we are compelled to pass fifteen minutes in a place where the cellar-like chill causes colds and sore throats innumerable. I admit that it is impossible to have the recitation-rooms suitably warmed and ventilated, and am resigned to the colds and headaches I get in those cheerful places. But why there should not be a good fire in the furnace of the Chapel, I fail to understand. As long...
...fifth is on that well-worn subject, Memorial Hall, and lays considerable stress on the fact of eight barrels of meat "in an advanced state of de-co position" having been seen hoisted from the cellar, and probably thrown away. Taking into account the frequent changes in the weather, and the large amount of meat consumed at Memorial Hall, this fact does not necessarily show any mismanagement or useless waste. In a quasi-supplement to this article, a reasonable statement, indirectly from Mr. Farmer, is scoffed at, and treated with many exclamation-marks...
