...muse over his adored! He wrote a dissertation on whether a rose (he meant his Rose) by any other name would have been as sweet. He decided not, in case the other name were Bridget or Maria. One thing troubled him not a little: though he could recall separately every one of the features of his captivatress, - including her delightful little retrousse nose (vulgar and ignorant people spoke of it as a "pug"), - he could not, for the life of him, picture her face as a whole. One day, however, Snifkins remarked that he had observed the same peculiarity...
...anxiety. To be sure, I had looked over a large number of stuffs, gorgeous, "prononce," "tony," and commonplace, with fair success. I flattered myself that my selection - influenced, I will confess, by the judicious taste of the salesman - would be approved by my friends as correct and even "tough," though not too marked. But nevertheless, while colors, shades, mixed goods, plain goods, and Scotch goods were dismissed from mind, there still remained the question of the cut, which I had promised to settle at some future time. A man's clothes at Harvard are somewhat like the ablative in Latin...
...debt a moment longer. Then, too, in regard to the 'Varsity Crew, as the Echo said, " Less interest was apparently taken in the University Crew and the race with Yale, than was taken in the Class Crews and their Spring Races."

If our rowing men will...
...Student nature is much less demonstrative in its likes than in its dislikes. While it never hesitates to give expression, through the indirect but effective means of satire, to its disapproval of men or measures, it is always rather backward in making any active demonstration of its regard, even though this regard be most sincere. In short, the student delights in raillery, but is averse to sentiment. As a natural consequence, therefore, those who provoke his displeasure expose themselves to some form of caricature more or less mild; while those who gain his regard have for the most part uninterrupted...
Ching's first thought was one of disappointment that he had not seen the philosopher; but before he had taken many steps this feeling began to yield to the sudden admiration he conceived for Tue. In truth, though prouder beauties might for the moment eclipse her, one who could see her at her best would not prefer the favor of the gayer fair. Ching sat heedless of the flight of time, until he at last looked up and saw Mnag returning. He had now no reason for consulting the philosopher; he therefore took a rather incoherent leave of the girl...
