This set of men has by no means passed out of college; but they are facile men, and feign the sentiment they cannot feel, if but the majority consider it the proper thing. As a set they have lost the position they once held. Then they were in their glory, when demerit marks took away all hope of ranking well from all but the most punctilious; when all studies were required studies, - under the old regime, in short, when nobody was ever mad enough even to dream of voluntary recitations. The position they once had, and the influence they appeared...

The very drift of the snow, covering every stiff and uncomely object with flowing lines of beauty; or its tints at sunset, blue in the hollows...
...true spirit of winter one ought to skate, I think, and that not in a rink, but on a lake or river, where one can look off to the hills and woods and feel the keen air. Now that club skates, star and acme skates, have come into fashion, we need not pinch our feet with the barbarous straps or numb our fingers in making our preparations to get on the ice. One difficulty in skating there certainly is in Cambridge: the only available lake is Fresh Pond, and it is almost impossible to make sure of there being smooth...
