magic hour of eleven, then, O greatest of our privileges, then—after our guests had reluctant- ly departed, ushered out by our college hymn, then we danced, with spirits brightened by the evening’s enjoyment, | VI. And after all was ended, we returned to our little cells in the college halls, so stimulated by the pleasures of the past hours that we were enabled to sit several more hours at tasks which had to be finished ere ten o’clock the next day. It is in virtue of these considerations, and for the benefit of ourselves and posterity, that we ask this boon, and entreat that the college receptions become once more a feature of the college year.
