...their position, in which many men find themselves, is very dispiriting. That our instructors are hard worked nobody pretends to doubt; and that as a rule they return the examination-books at the earliest moment compatible with their convenience is generally admitted. Yet, perhaps unreasonably, many of the students think that their marks might be announced within a fixed period, - three or four weeks from the examination, for example, - and our instructors may be sure that a sacrifice of their personal convenience in this respect would be thoroughly appreciated by all their pupils...
...character of this part of the Class-Day programme. At the exercises about the tree all the undergraduates assembled for the first and last time. They ran about; fought for hats, caps, canes, and flowers; knocked each other down; cheered for pretty much everything that the Chief Marshal could think of; and finally separated with feelings of triumph or of rage, as they carried away trophies or bruises.

...extremely religious again, having apparently fallen into the hands of embryo theologians. It has a great deal to say about a new chapel which has just been erected at Yale. It is liberal enough to suggest that required attendance at prayers be dispensed with, as it appears to think that the strength of the religious convictions of the students would secure the presence of a large number at every exercise. The longest editorial in the paper is directed against the heinous sin of Sabbath-breaking, which appears to be startlingly prevalent in New Haven. It appears that the students...
