Stran 55 - No undergraduate shall wear his hat in the college yard when any of the governors of the college are there; and no bachelor shall wear his hat when the president is there. 3. Freshmen are to consider all the other classes as their seniors.
Stran 135 - I am satisfied that such a set of black-coated, stiffjointed, soft-muscled, paste-complexioned youth as we can boast in our Atlantic cities never before sprang from loins of Anglo-Saxon lineage.
Stran 28 - That man is little to be envied, whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of lona.
Stran 102 - LET children hear the mighty deeds Which God performed of old ; Which in our younger years we saw, And which our fathers told.
