...every time at an angle of forty-five degrees. The conditions which he laid down in fighting were of the most desperate nature. An I for an I and a 2 for a 2 was his motto. He had never been known to yield at all in this matter except once, when he put a + for a - and a - for a +. Last but not least, surrounded by trophies of his prowess, sat the bold Sir Elly Mentari de Fisicks. His stern and forbidding mien was an index, dreadful to his foes, of the spirit within.

Honors in Modern Languages are based mainly on French and German. But there are no motives to urge men to a careful study of English, except the excellence of the instruction given, or love for the subject. Is our literature, then, so deficient in value and interest? Is the ability to write - not Greek, but English - of so little importance? Students of Saxon and Old English meet with scant encouragement. Honorable Mention is a meagre reward...
