age_ is a curious structure of glass, iron,
and wood, in which notices and examination lists are posted. The letters
_S. R. C_. denote the Students' Representative Council. An _L.L.A_. is a
Lady Literate in Arts. _Math_. (as the discerning reader will not be
slow to perceive) is an abbreviation, endearing or otherwise, of the word

shortened form of Professor, and _certif_. of certificate. _Plough,
pluck_, and _spin_ are used indifferently, to signify the action of an
examiner in rejecting a candidate for the M.A. or any other degree. It
