...having his own. In 1622 "Mr. Cruso's pott" was mended at a cost of 2s., and several entries of old cups changed for new ones (the Fellow who had the use of it contributing out of his private means as to get a larger or finer goblet) show how it is that old silverware is so hard to find nowadays. But they did not always drink out of the nobler metal, "a little jug and pott for the fellows in ye halle and parlour" being bought for 17d. in 1644. The undergraduates drank and ate out of pewter...

We would again repeat then that work must be done, and faithfully done, if success attend '87. They have received one lesson ; another would not be so trifling...
...arises. Every one agreed that the custom of conferring the degree was a bad one and every one was glad to see it broken. It is our earnest conviction that the custom should remain a thing of the past and should never again be regenerated. If Mr. Robinson should show by any of his acts that he has any particular claim upon the degree aside from the fact that he is governor of the state of Masschusetts, let him receive it, but let the degree be conferred upon the man and not upon the office. We have been relieved from...
