Those Pierian Springs.

Such cursory rambles as we have to take into the Library reveal a deplorable amount of swot. And we have grave fears that the tendency to neglect outside activities, which has been so marked in recent years, may be repeated again this year. A kitten is supposed to open its eyes on the eighth day after birth, but the evidence of the Library makes it doubtful whether twenty years opens the eyes of a student. On present showing we will soon be staging the Victora Stakes—the first man to read every book in the Library and submit to an exam. on them all will be crowned "Academic King" of the year—and the competition will be great. But at such a time.

"Silence and destitution are upon thy walls, proud house, for a memorial."
