...president thinks an objection to the proposed rope fire-escapes would be that more danger would result from students practising sliding down the ropes than would ever be liable to occur from fires...
...good deal has been said lately about the Brown University base-ball grounds. The grounds certainly deserve all the criticism which has been made on them, as any one who has ever played on them will testify.

The scene, we are told, "was one from fairy land," with "generous bowls of lemonade" scattered around, (could the ordinary mortal imagine such a fitting drink for fairies as lemonade?) while above this domain of fays hung the Yale crew's shell, which "looked down upon the people below, recalling the time...
