...goody is beyond scolding; she is so very meek and small, that if I mildly remonstrate with her for having forgotten my room some morning, or for some other such trifling misdemeanor, she cowers and seems about to melt away in tears. This of course makes me feel myself to be a cruel tyrant; so I have to say that it is of no consequence and change the subject...
...members of the present Senior Class certainly have not forgotten the stormy class elections of '74, when the system of elections by societies was in the full glory of its ineffectiveness. The Class of '75 followed with its plan of allotment of officers to the different society and non-society elements, while approximating to an open election in the actual ballot for officers.

...hand, it is very difficult to get the necessary practice. In taking lecture notes there is no difficulty; the work is smooth and almost fascinating, but the work comes when the notes are to be translated into long-hand, and unless they are translated at once they are soon forgotten, and finally become almost unintelligible.

No newspaper can be conducted without its corps of stenographers. They always command a high salary...

In those days - as now indeed - we sometimes wore a straw hat with magenta ribbon, and some old faded magenta cravats made by the chaffers might possibly be found in forgotten boxes.

...have not forgotten the proverb, "Let well enough alone," and detest that cavilling spirit that like a dishonest dentist always finds one more defect to be remedied. But, on the other hand, suggestions of improvement are proverbially a paper's vantage-ground, and it seems but fair we should here express in concert what finds daily expression in the jokes or grumblings of individuals. Why, then, does the anachronism still-exist of a rule in the Schedule of the Memorial Hall Association forbidding the use of alcoholic drinks among the diners at the Hall? In the old days, when...
