Prof. Maassen, of the Vienna University, who was hissed by the students last spring for his anti-German speech in the Diet, met with the same fate today in the splendid building on the Ringstrasse, which the University has just taken possession of. In the course of his inaugural lecture he referred to the "unpleasant events" of last term, whereupon some hundreds of the students burst out as before into cries of "Pereat" and cheers for their "German" Professors. About 300 of them then rose and left the room, but when Dr. Maassen ordered the doors to be closed they...
...forthwith. Moffat's first goal from the field was the turning point, being one of the finest points ever scored on a Harvard team. The next three goals were but a repetition of the first, being made in successive tries by a skill which seemed almost as sure as fate. Our men played pluckily, however, and a few minutes before the close a brilliant try from the field by Cowling almost gave us five points more. In the last three quarters the Princeton team played entirely for their captain, leaving it to him to gain every particle of advantage, while...
...remarks,-speaking of the "University Quarterly"-"its affairs were wound up without loss to its conductors-a somewhat rare circumstance in the death of a college journal." He also speaks in the highest terms of the "Lampoon,"-"the success that attended "Lampy's effort" in view of the usual fate of American humorous journals, is good evidence of the excellence of its work.

...young women in those institutions are termed in the college slang of their student-brethren-and no matter how much they are on learning bent, nor how many "missions" their zealous souls have decided to take up, there is sure to be a wedding. It is a fate as inevitable as to-morrow, and the marriageable professor-to say nothing of the "co-ed"-cannot escape it. The law is so fixed that it works equally well the other way, and a prepossessing lady in a professor's chair of a co-educational college is equally sure to be captured...
...near which stood the sacrificial altar with its colored fires. As the students gathered around the scene of death the haruspex, Henry A. Bostwick, pronounced the doom of the victim in verse. The victim was this time represented by a goat, and he was allowed to choose between three fates-either to become a dude, to go to Harvard and be "culchawed," or to be burned upon the altar. At the mention of the first fate the goat trembled visibly and desired rather any other doom, and he preferred death to Harvard. Then the executioner fell upon him savagely with...
