...only for general reading but for historical references. The book just issued proves to be in no wise inferior to the previous volumes. To mention the subject "The third Crusade of the Christians under Richard I of England" is enough at once to awaken an interest even in the casual reader, The doings of the doughty Richard Coeur de Lion, have always possessed that romantic air of mystery which surrounds the period of the middle ages; and in Mr. Archer's volume is given an account of his deeds in the east at the time of the great crusade...
...expenses, such as theatres and parties, where an increase is made, are for the very luxuries from which the athlete is debarred. This leaves as in the catalogue the columns, Least (assisted), Economical, Moderate (modest), and Very Liberal (well to do), besides three higher grades which need but casual comment.

There is every prospect of the club attaining a membership of forty or fifty as soon as it gets to work and then...
...think I might have dwelt more on the pettiness of the proctor system as it now exists. Peace must be preserved in the college dormitories, it is true, and none desire it more than the students themselves. But they do protest when at every slight ebullition of mirth or casual congress of friends the proctor's knock is heard at the door. The proctors should remember that their office is not to quell disturbances annoying to themselves only, as much as it is to stop everything that may call forth reasonable complaints from anyone in the building. They should remember...
