...applause and many encores. John then told some of his college experiences, among which was the great and only theatre-party tale, in which John once figured with a crowd of "shtudents." To crown the glory which his little variety then procured for him, he pulled out of a hidden recess, a carefully tied up parcel, which he unrolled very gingerly, and at length displayed to the admiring audience a large crimson rosette with which he was going to decorate himself the following day.

Now it very frequently happens that a rain or snow storm comes up, when the moon is entirely hidden, and the belated wanderer is left to feel his way through the slush or mud in the yard as best he may, trusting to the gods for guidance. In a college like Harvard it is nothing less than disgraceful that such a state of affairs should exist...
