...those who turned their eyes from the tree to the howling mob of undergraduates. The Seniors' rush for flowers is not wholly unconnected with sentiment, is not brutal, and, though thoroughly undignified, is amusing. The cheering and class song no one can object to; and, as a last argument for the continuance of these "exercises," they form an agreeable interlude between the dancing in the afternoon and the teas in the evening, allowing our guests an opportunity for rest, and ourselves a chance to lay in a new stock of small talk for the evening...

The first is a violent attack on Darwinism, in which the train of argument is somewhat as follows: "Darwin denies the Biblical theory of the Creation, and tells us instead that men are descended from monkeys; but who do the monkeys spring from?"
