...mild, inoffensive-looking person of about twenty-six summers, attired in a neat blue suit, and at the first glance would have been taken for one of those harmless young men of gentlemanly pursuits, and no visible means of support, whom one so often notices in our "Modern Athens...
...number of men who carry their hero-worship to such an extent is happily small. But although Gosling is not often seen at Harvard, he does exist here. We all know him.

To use a milder and perhaps more applicable illustration than the former one, he is the man who, though he has a short neck, must needs make himself ugly and very miserable by wearing a high collar, because Swellington, who has a long neck, can wear such a collar comfortably and to advantage...
...prescribed. The reform will reach this class in due time.

Again, many of the reserved books are such as one reads in spare moments in the evening; if a book can be taken out for a length of time there are a hundred chances to finish it. It is often impossible to know in the afternoon whether one will want a book in the evening; and furthermore, it is a great nuisance to take out a book night after night. We hope that this abuse will be remedied in future...
