...such immense proportions and so magnificent that it was thought to be the tomb of some Assyrian king. Investigations were made and finally the conclusion was reached that it was the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great. Its sculpture, on this theory, represents the battle of Arbela, a lion hunt and the battle of Granicus. The sarcophagus is nearly twelve feet long, seven high and five and a half broad, and the total weight is twenty-five tons, of which the cover weighs ten. It is all of fine Parian marble. Several French savants are now studying it at Constantinople...

...evidently fully as spirited as the traditional sophomore, and eighty-eight is apparently fully as ready to stand up for its rights as the average freshman class. Can it be that the millennium is approaching, when the sophomore and freshman are to lie down together, like the oft-mentioned lion and lamb? During our own first two years in college we thought that day to be far distant. Can it be that it is so near while we are yet undergraduates...
