...government of a college or boarding school control its students in vacation time...
ALMOST every one, in reading Macaulay, must have been struck by the numerous allusions to an imaginary school-boy, who is called upon to refresh the memory of the reader upon subjects as widely different as the date of a king of England, the construction of a Greek play, or the theory of government. I have always had a great reverence for this imaginary personage, whom I think as badly treated as was the famous Mr. Blank, mentioned in the Spectator...
THIS is the condition of the Dental School; During the year it incurred a serious deficit of $2,245.24, and was in debt to the general treasury, August 1, 1878, to the amount of $16,56484, an amount largely exceeding the value of the building which it occupies, and which is practically the only security for the debt.

The school has no endowment whatever...

There are now (1878-79) employed in the school three professors, a lecturer on Ecclesiastical History...
...Four deaths occurred in 1877-78 among the students resident in Cambridge, - three in the College and one in the Scientific School. Two died of brain disease, one of pneumonia, and one of anaemia. In no one of the cases could the fatal disease be attributed to any exposure or over-exertion incident to student life or to residence in Cambridge. The general healthiness of the University dormitories is remarkable. There has been no epidemic therein of fever, diphtheria, dysentery, or any zymotic disease for many years, and malaria (except in imported cases) is unknown...
