...practice, undertook, in the year 1849, to see every man in each graduating class, and request him to write out a biography under his direction. In 1856, when he accepted the position of Librarian, he took pains to hand to each successive Class Secretary, a list of questions to show the students, as an assistance in writing out heir history. From this it was but a short step to the present system of blank-books and printed lists...
...thinks that public performances by students ought not to be allowed. We are younger, and many of us do not, perhaps, care so much about maintaining a very high standard of dignity, provided we can amuse ourselves and our friends; but it is necessary, and indeed expedient, to show some regard for the expressed opinion of the alumni.

The next couplet is intended to show the high tone prevalent among the writer's acquaintances, but it can only happen in Montreal that joy is a regular "befaller" in woe and care. The denouement is certainly very sad; but it is at once seen that "he" would prefer even a gin-cocktail to "sobbing" with the author of this...
