...wheezed off at the speed of six miles a week. At about every other telegraph-post, just as the baby was getting tranquillized, the conductor would step into our car and "holler," "Tickets, please. Change cars for - " we could n't hear where, but we surrendered a coupon and moved into the baggage-car, that being the only obvious change; and just as the baby was calming down again, we would come to another post and have to surrender another coupon and move back to the palace-car, I, of course, moving the old lady, bab and baggage, every time...
...action of the Faculty in requiring, under certain circumstances, a fee from men who present themselves a third time for examination on any subject is a move in an entirely new direction.

In the second place, although Juniors have had frequent calls for contributions made upon them during the past month, still at present they are less subject to these demands than at other...
...Harvard had no fixed color in magenta, but that great confusion resulted from the diversity of shades. This movement succeeded, the color was changed to crimson, and a committee of three appointed to determine the shade. Up to the present time, we have patiently waited for the spirit to move these gentlemen to declare themselves, but as the prospect of ever hearing from them has been growing beautifully less as time wears on, and we are no nearer a fixed standard than before, we think it highly necessary, by drawing attention to the subject, to have a settlement effected...
