...made for itself in its college career, afford to allow this class dinner fail through sheer indifference? We think not. We even venture to hope that, not 50 only, but 100 juniors will improve this opportunity to revive the smouldering sparks of class spirit which still glows among the dull ashes of "Harvard indifference...
...much favor, possibly, as the notes themselves in their present written form have met with. It is refreshing-to the reader (to him especially who aims at becoming a "full man," as Bacon puts it,) to find here and there the very brilliant remarks of a very bril-dull man; comments on the author's style, questions and expressed doubts on certain passages, very wonderful and skilful corrections, humorous passages explained, jokes and puns clarified, and bits of quite original humor-of the very best sort, of course.

Let the pedestrian only be observant and study the houses, and whatever else he may see, and he will find Cambridge no dull place. Indeed, belonging, as Cambridge does half to this, half to the last century, but few more interesting cities are to be found in this country...
