...sacred traditions of Cambridge, and it has been handed down along with the other good old customs, with all its mellow influences unimpaired. In the old days the punch used to be served in huge tubs on the college green, and classmates pledged each other's health in generous tin dippers. Of late years. however, each class has provided a separate bowl of punch of its own in the rooms facing on the college yard, and the year of the class has been conspicuously placarded on the outer wall, in order that the graduates might know where their classmates rallied...

...trip was a pleasant one, and the Yale students were much pleased with what they saw. The mills alone were well worth the journey, surrounded as they were by every evidence of happiness and prosperity. The delegation of students left much impressed with the excellent management and the generous courtesy of the Willimantic Company. The Yale News devoted a page of its issue to a glowing description of the trip and all seemed lovely. Yale was henceforth to be the bulwark of protection and Prof. Sumner had lost his profession. But by and by a cloud arose on the horizon...
