...been grinding until late, and to rest my mind before retiring for the night, had taken up the "Verses from the Advocate." I could hear the wind blowing round the corner of the house, the snow beating against the window-panes, and the whistle of the draught in the chimney. In such a night and at that late hour I did not expect any one would drop in. I was therefore rather surprised when I heard a knock at my door, and saw a stranger come in.

The work corresponds to that of an historian collecting the materials for volumes upon which his fame is to rest. The man who has this course may have two others upon which he must do hard work; then, by the regulation of the Faculty, he must take something else to fill up his time! This is a regulation that seems to me unnecessary. I do not propose that Seniors should have...
