...when he has lost his key; and there is as much propriety in giving a goody's name as that of Memorial's Steward. Farther on, under "Expenses," we find the valuable information that "expenses vary with the economy of each student," and again "wood and coal ready for use are delivered at the students' rooms, by Cambridge and Brighton dealers, at market prices." "Good tobacco at Whiton's" might be added. At the Divinity School we learn that "washing is done for seven-five cents per dozen pieces," and at the Lawrence Scientific School and the Bussey Institution...
...school, the Faculty indulge in this spread-eagleism: "The Law Library is one of the most complete and extensive in America: and among libraries belonging to law schools it has no rival," etc. "The Law Library is kept in Dane Hall, and is open day and evening for the use of students during the entire academic year.

He also has an awkward habit of sticking his elbows out at the finish...
