...evening passed on. The professors made addresses, all of course relating to Luther and to the lessons to be drawn from his life, and drank to the health of the students; songs were sung and the whole proceedings were interspersed with periods for conversation, during which the band played. Whenever anyone speaks or while the singing is going on, the officers of the "Corps" remain standing, with their swords lying before them, and between every verse of a song, they "slap" (this word best describes the action and sound) the swords on the table, and the Commander calls for "Silentium...
