...When the time comes for the "cribber" to enter the examination room he places the sheets under his tightly-but-toned coat, walks boldly into the lions' den, seats himself at his table, and hastens to write a page or two of something or other. Just what it is doesn't matter. The main object is to have some freshly written pages on the table. When this is accomplished the adventurer stealthily unbuttons his coat, and at a favorable moment draws his "cribbed" papers from his bosom and pushes them in among the mass of manuscript before him. When this...
...days later I take the pains to borrow Snodkins' note-book, and study well the pages between the hard-worn covers. First, I am pleased to find some writing, "Hollis Holworthy Snodkins, '85, 57 Mattworthy, Camoridge, Mass.," all of which doesn't seem to me to be very important, until I have discovered it repeated on most of the subsequent pages.

It certainly doesn't hurt any man who can get up at 8 o'clock, to spend fifteen minutes in the chapel before going to recitations, and if it doesn't, where does the grievance come in? The old custom of compelling attendance at morning prayers should not be abolished without weighty reasons. Harvard's reputation...
...gasp, with dismay, "What on earth was that?" "That," says Snodkins, taking his cigarette from his lips, and blowing fragrant little rings of smoke into the air, "that is a man who bought a drum before the election, and who practices it yet; sounds rather loud in the well, doesn't it?" Loud, we should rather say it did; does he hake any more noises like that, we want to know? "Well," says Snodkins, "it may seem rather steep at first, but I have got used to it; had to, in fact. After a few months in college, noises affect...
