Harper's Monthly is responsible for the follwing account of an old custom at Trinity College on class day, known as the "Presentation of the Lemon Squeezer." "This custom, it need hardly be said, is peculiar to Trinity, and, as the 'Lemon Squeezer' of class day is something not met with in every day life, a word of description is pertinent. It is a plain piece of mechanism, devoid of much ornamentation. It is revered and prized, not so much for its intrinsic value as for the memories which cluster around it, and are, upon auspicious occasions, squeezed...
...reach a high grade upon the rank list, and yet sees the minutes hurrying by without bringing a commensurate amount of reduction in the unanswered portion of the paper before him.

But over-supply, as all students of Political Economy know...
...fiction than of truth, more of air-castle building than of tangible reality. This suggestion is that the Annex buy the grounds and buildings of the Episcopal School on Brattle street. The suggestion is at least an ingenious one, and is important inasmuch as it emphasizes the great need of the Annex to-day; it also arouses a little bit of poetic feeling in even the most prosaic mind. One has to acknowledge that all the grounds of the Episcopal School need to make them the most pretty and attractive grounds in Cambridge, is that they be associated with some...
