Apollinaris water found to be flat should be returned at once, in which case another bottle will be sent up. The water is bottled abroad, and it is impossible, except by opening to detect imperfectly corked bottles...
...excellence of our nine's playing or wishes to see it equal that of a professional nine; all that the nine itself professes to care about, and certainly all that most of us want it to do, is to maintain a high position among college nines. Any other ambition, except to stand well in comparison with college competitors, is undesirable in any branch of athletics, for it tends sooner or later to turn sports into means of money-making.

But we cannot suppress our astonishment at the meagre audiences which gather to hear the greater part of these readings. Every man who in the future will say he spent four years at college, could reasonably be called upon for some acquaintance, however superficial, with the masterpieces of Greek and Latin literature, and comparatively few of us would...
