...silence was broken by the appearance of a small row-boat containing two people. One was a young man dressed in a comfortable-looking yachting costume, very much browned, however, by exposure to a New Hampshire sun; the other was a young woman dressed in much the same manner, except so far as the distinguishing marks of female attire went, with a very jaunty and coquettish hat set atop of a cluster of very bewitching brown curls. He was rowing rather leisurely toward the little white beach - if such it may be called - that bordered the inlet whither they...

Their sprightly editorials, the delicacy of their wit and humor, and their freedom of thought, have a peculiar charm which confirms our belief that their manner of education better accords with the "eternal fitness of things." - Hamilton Literary Monthly...

It is, of course, impossible that the Bursar should himself superintend these matters; but the fact that some of the janitors do not perform these duties at all, and others only in a most unsatisfactory manner, shows them to be very inefficient men for their places. A part of this inefficiency is doubtless due to the fact that each janitor wishes to make as much money as possible, and therefore hires the cheapest, which is the poorest, help, - in most cases recommended by an intelligence office...
