...inferior league, because it seems difficult to be first in the larger league, is a motive that results from a thoroughly false idea of what it is to be first. The plan of forming a new league to consist of the smaller colleges, is merely a plan of forgetting, or trying to forget, that any larger colleges exist. But the larger colleges do, and will exist, and if in truth they are the champions, the fact that certain other colleges have first places in another league will neither add to the dignity of those colleges nor help them in their...
...been done away with. It ought, therefore, to be in the mind of every man who uses the library, that he is not the only person in existence who is likely to want any particular book. There are very few men who are so thoroughly self-engrossed that they forget this fact; but we have heard of some, we regret to say, who, ensconcing themselves behind a huge pile of reserved books and settling down for an afternoon's work, are audacious enough to put on an air of offended privilege if any one asks them...

...question frequently heard now among members of the club, and it seems to me there is reason for the question. The roads have been in splendid condition for the greater part of the last month, yet not a single run has been taken. The management seems entirely to forget the purpose of a bicycle club. On two occasions, it must be allowed, attempts were made to have a run, but on the first day it was too hot for a sane man to ride, and on the other it rained. Still there can be no excuse for not having...
