...news of the insanity of Mr. Anton Leister has reached us. Mr. Leister was last year a member of the Class of '80, and was formerly a member of the Class of '79.

Whitney's is of course enlarged upon, and the inevitable "Harvard Room" and "mutton-chop...
Motley's college career was not a model one. His negligence and lack of ambition did not promise the wonderful industry of his mature years. But his manly independence in devoting part of his time to literature, instead of struggling to excel his classmates, had a rich result in the literary excellence of his after work...
