...seems to me that it is about time that something should be said in defence of that much-maligned creature the proctor. The violent censure and scathing sarcasm that have been hurled upon his defenceless head for weeks past have entirely destroyed his nervous system. He has grown prematurely old. I dare say that a close observer could detect a few straggling gray hairs in his head. No more do we hear the sound of the "squeaking boots" ; his manly tread is silenced. 'T is pitiful to see him moping on the corners with his brothers, or sitting with...
HARVARD College has its Transcript, and the University of Michigan its Christian Advocate. Our Western brothers have already been accused of irreligion; "experto crede," the charge of immorality will come next; - and as the Chronicle devotes four columns to its defence on the first head, the second, being far more comprehensive, will probably call forth a supplement to the next number.

...base-hit by Lanahan's sharp fielding. Latham then retired by Dailey to Cogswell; Lanahan led off with a foul tip; Carl retired by a well-thrown ball from Thayer to Wright; Cogeswell hit for a base, and reached second on Sawyer's muff of Tyng's throw; Wood-head then struck out. In the twentieth Sawyer made a base-hit, after two men were out; Leeds then went out on a foul bound to Carl; Tyng muffed a foul fly in this inning. In the twenty-second Carl out by Ernst to Wright; Cogswell followed with a base...
...then takes a pair of Indian clubs that I bought in my Freshman year, and swings them in dangerous proximity to my heated head. At last, thank Heaven, he goes, whistling all the way down stairs. I wonder why it is that people always whistle in the entries of the College buildings. They do not whistle in the Yard, or in their rooms; but, when going up or down stairs, every one thinks he must whistle the best he knows...
