...being peculiarly the victims of imposition on account of their habitual recklessness and disregard of such trifles. From every College we hear this same complaint, and it will probably continue to be the case until the millennium softens the heart; but it would seem as if we in Cambridge ought really to be free from this annoyance, living as we do so near the city, where we can obtain what we wish at much more reasonable prices without very much extra trouble. Here we see the true student-nature, always grumbling and complaining, but never taking active measures for improvement...

Mr. Blaikie's belief in the use of such exercises is shown by the remark in his address to the undergraduates the other evening, that every man on the University Crew ought to enter the two-mile running-race.

The thanks of the Association are certainly due to this gentleman for his kind offer...
...melancholy" in "the lymphatic and phlegmatic natures among us," gives us a feeling of sleepiness truly irresistible. We will not tell how "sanguine and choleric blood is bluishly affected," or relate the touching apostrophe to "Ontario not as yet loosened from the embrace of her frozen foe," but we ought to say that "Richard and his horse" is made to do good service. A tolling bell suggests that the "patriot has died." We cannot advise any one to seek light reading in the Index...
