...winter of 1887-88, there was hardly an article of food at the Hall which did not cause complaint. The bread was half the time sour, and the water foul; the oatmeal and the vegetables were often so cooked as to be uneatable; the fish, poultry, chops, coffee, were positively bad. Very little order was kept during meals. The bill of fare was chosen by regular routine, so that you could predict every meal beforehand.

Brunhilde was the spring god. Winter, against whom summer warred, was termed the Dragon. These mythical...
...yearly commencement expenses of the class, and it is necessary that all the subscriptions are in, and the first installment paid by commencement of 1890. The class lives and postals that have been issued are requisite for publishing the secretary's first report which is due to appear next winter and is a record of the class while in college. Any failure to reply to them makes the report incomplete and hard to issue. It has been intended to send these blanks to all present and former members of the class of '90, to all special students who have...
