One of the most aggravating incidents of the Mid-years has just reached our ears. A member of '89 who is something of a student, "ground" until late the night before for an examination which was to occur the next day. On his awakening the day of the exams, his surprise may be better imagined than described when he found that the time was just 12 o'clock. Of course he lost the examination.
The following is an extract of President Bartlett's speech: "Dartmouth College is not a university, and we do not want it one. We believe that one university in New England is enough, and there is, as James Russell Lowell said last fall, scarcely that. I do not think the so-called 'university' is practically such an institution. In my judgment, when young men choose their own branches, the gymnasium is the principal study."
