Excerpt:"Beautiful!" said Theodora, earnestly. One half of the gallery—her half—was all trimmed with yellow and purple. Great yellow chrysanthemums flowered on every pillar, and enormous purple shields with yellow numerals lined the wall. Crossed banners and flags filled in the intervals, and from the middle beam depended a great purple butterfly with yellow wings, flapping defiance at a red and green insect of indistinguishable species that decorated the other side. A bevy of ushers in white duck, with boutonnières of English violets or single American beauties, took their places and began to pin on crêpe paper sunbonnets 3 of yellow or green, chattering and watching the clock. A tall senior, with a red silk waist and a green scarf across her breast, was arranging a box near the centre of the sophomore side and practising maintaining her balance on it while she waved a red baton. She was the leader of the Glee Club, and she would lead the sophomore songs. Theodora heard a confused scuffle on the stairs, and in a few seconds the galleries were crowded with the rivers of color that poured from the entrance doors. It seemed that they were full now, but she knew that twice as many more would crowd in. She walked quickly to the room at the end of the hall and opened the door. Beneath and all around her was the hum and rumble of countless feet and voices, but in the room all was still. The Subs lounged in the window-seats and tried to act as if it wasn't likely to be any affair of theirs: one little yellow-haired girl confided flippantly to her neighbor that she'd "only accepted the position so as to be able to sit on the platform and be sure of a good place." The Team were sitting on the floor staring at their captain, who was talking earnestly in a low voice—giving directions apparently. The juniors who coached them opened the door and grinned 4 cheerfully. They attached great purple streamers to their shirt-waists, and addressed themselves to the freshmen generally.

Excerpt from Her Fiance: Four Stories of College LifeOh, yes! I know all about that! Persisted Evelyn, scornfully. You had a Burke paper when I wanted you to show my uncle the art gallery and the plant house. And when Tommy Sears came up unexpectedly and I had two men up for the rally, you had a Burke paper then. And you may remember that the night of the concert you couldn't sit and talk to Patsy 's man while she was sing ing, because you had to plan out a Burke paper. Now don't be a pig, Biscuits, but take him! You're the only one in the crowd that hasn't got a man already, and it's so beastly hard to run a new program so late in the day! You can sit 'em out, if you want, but do take him!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Our HillPrima is a fine child and a credit to her father's family, whom she resembles en masse and in de tail, but her manner (notably on Tuesdays, when they administer the arithmetic tests) is a little trying.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
