FIRST SUB-FRESH. Can you tell where I can get a permit to the Yard?

SECOND SUB-FRESH (pointing to the Borsair's office.) There in that little brown building, I suppose.

OSCAR FAULHABER, Ph. D., has announced by circular a summer course of six weeks in the pronunciation and idiomatic use of the French and German languages.

THE fact that the tickets to Memorial Hall, which were to be good for both afternoon and evening, had to be given up on entering, and could not be returned to all on coming out, caused inconvenience to a considerable number. It seems that not a few managed to gain entrance to the Hall in the afternoon without tickets, and hence the tickets gave out when being returned. The fault seems to rest upon the doorkeeper and the depravity of mankind.
