...annual Phi Beta Kappa supper, which came off the evening of May 8, was an event of much interest and pleasure to the members of the ancient and honorable society. The wit did not flag, the songs were sung with spirit and received with hearty applause, and the walk from Boston, in the early morning, was made pleasant by moonlight and invigorating air. Not materially disturbed by the attentions of officious "peelers," with Auld Lang Syne and a ring in front of University, the party broke...
THIS book, although originally intended for the relatives and friends, and especially for the younger members of the family, of Mr. Hughes, cannot fail to interest every one who reads it. Few persons, in this country at least, were aware, before the appearance of these memoirs, that Thomas Hughes had an older brother George, who began life almost as brilliantly as the author of "Tom Brown," and who possessed the same traits of character which have given his younger brother so prominent and honorable a position.

Few are acquainted with either the people or the country which this essay so well describes. Margaret Howitt contributes a pleasant record of her residence in a country town in the Pusterthal. But of all the articles those which interested us most were those on "Salmon Fishing in Canada" and "Cricket in America." The one so attracts us that, were the time at our disposal, nothing would be esteemed a pleasanter amusement than the privilege of capturing this...
Though transmittenda may be intrinsically of little value, yet the associations connected with them make the possessor of one prize it highly. With what interest in my Freshman year did I sound the sheathing in my room to ascertain the possibility of one being secreted behind it; how expectantly did I wait for the unceremonious entrance of one through my window. Many students have grown to consider them as their Penates, and look with disgust upon the destroying hands of the Goths and Vandals, namely, the College Carpenter, and a dealer in second-hand goods, who never leaves anything...
