...been rumored lately that there would be no examination this year in Physics A on account of the small number of lectures delivered. We hope that this will prove to be true, for it would seem to be the wisest plan. Only seven lectures have been delivered this spring in place of the usual twelve. Then, too, it is almost impossible to take notes in this course on account of the darkness of the lecture-room during seven-eighths of the hour. It certainly does not seem reasonable to examine men upon their knowledge of facts and views given...

It the members of '93 are not wholly indifferent...
...common belief sent all souls to Hel. This was a gloomy land, vast and pathless, in one part of which was the hall of the reigning goddess. A wall and river which surrounded this seem to be almost identically the same as those which the higher families believed were about Walhalla. Much dispute has arisen as to the unity and consistency of the beliefs in Walhalla and Hel. Some of the Eddic songs speak of Hel and Walhalla separately. while others do not mention the latter at all. The beliefs are inconsistent, because by one all souls are sent...
