...hours were up. Now, since we were particularly requested in this examination to "pay attention to form as well as substance," we should like to request of the instructor some attention on his part to the swiftness with which the minutes pass, and also to the imperfect powers of man. This, I think, but a fair request, for, when more is expected than a mere answer to the questions, the questions themselves should be such that they will allow time for the extra work. When the instructor looks over the books, I trust he will bear in mind the fact...
...customs. On this day, on which we display ourselves as "liberally educated young men," and aunts and cousins, young and old, come to gaze with wondering eyes upon us, we appear in a dress by no means appropriate to the occasion. No blessing was ever conferred upon man equal to that which prescribed the form of dress which he should wear at evening.

"We would (sic) like," says the Courant, "to remind some of those gentlemen who took such delight in plunging from one end of the hall to the other in three steps, and bumping everybody on the way, that it would be well to take a few lessons either...
Wandering among the historic fields of Westchester in a year which will be a "glorious year for America" if bells, cannons, and newspapers can make it so, I caught the Centennial fever! Every historical spot, from the "dead man's swamp" to the battle-field of White Plains, was sought out with patriotic zeal. I even tried to stop and drink at every old farm-house where Washington is said to have refreshed himself, but I gave it up. (G. W. must have been uncommonly thirsty...
