...Notes." Portions of these "notes" are copied directly from the brevity columns of the College papers, and in as much as they are simple statements of College events, are correct, but the remaining are either creations of a fertile brain or slight events wrought up in such a marvellous manner as to show that the imagination of the writer was drawn upon to a dangerous extent...
