...specified portions of Greek and Latin authors supposed to have been read by the candidates, and the translation of Greek and Latin at sight. The examinations in Greek and Latin composition will be postponed until the end of the term, and will then take the place of final examinations in Greek 4 and Latin 3, counting both for honors and for the year's mark in those courses...
...order of the Final Examinations was posted on the 1st of April; hence no one can complain that sufficient notice has not been given of them this year. Beyond what satisfaction there is in knowing exactly when one is to be tortured, we cannot, however, see how this early announcement will make preparation materially easier. It is useless to attempt to take time needed for term work or for recreation in order to prepare for examinations to come in two months, or even in one month. Under our system, work for examinations can hardly be begun more than two weeks...
...final bout of the Light-Weight Sparring between Messrs. Heilbron, '83, and Sharon, '81, proved perhaps the most entertaining event of the afternoon's programme.

This man was St. Behoene, a celebrated physicist (who flourished in the time of Abelard and Heloise), canonized on account of his broad charity for all who held opinions different from his own. His bones now rest quietly in the little Monastery...
...Cause is the stuff of which the paper is made, and the Formal Cause is the paper-mill. So far we have kept in the region of pure optimism. "And now here comes" the trouble. The Efficient Cause is the one who makes out the examination-paper, and the Final Cause is the intention in his mind, a priori, to condition the examined, while the condition itself is the Lost Cause, but does not take effect until it receives the stamp of the Regulative Faculty...
