...Corsair makes his first appearance in American poetry. "Hannah Bantry in the pantry," who employed her solitude in gnawing a mutton-bone, is the prototype of the "Marchioness." Hannah, to be sure, seems, in this instance, to have solaced her loneliness in a more sordid manner than the curious creature in Dickens's novel, but if Mother Goose had given us further glimpses of her heroine's character, we should, no doubt, find her more winsome...
...brush the Sophomores managed to cross the line four feet in advance. The time of '83 was 10 m. 41 s.; of '82, 11 m. 4 s.; of '81, 11 m. 5 s., and of '80, 11 m. 15 s. Too much praise cannot be given to the wonderful manner in which the Freshmen took the lead, and won by seven lengths...

The benefits to be derived are numerous. We should train...
That they did not depart from their usual character on this occasion was shown at the hearing in a manner which I think must have satisfied any unprejudiced listener. It was there demonstrated that the dinner was quiet; that little wine was used; that the party were, without exception, sober; and that their only offence against good order was the singing of college songs when on their way through Court and Cambridge Streets. In short, in no part of the evidence did anything appear which could in any degree discredit young men with the College authorities, or which need give...
