ANALYSIS. In the following passage, the word _analysis_ is used as a verb; the meaning being directly derived from that of the noun of the same orthography. If any resident Bachelor, Senior, or Junior Sophister shall neglect to _analysis_ in his course, he shall be punished not exceeding ten shillings.--_Peirce's Hist. Harv. Univ._, App., p. 129. ANNARUGIANS. At Centre College, Kentucky, is a society called the _Annarugians_, "composed," says a correspondent "of the wildest of the College boys, who, in the most fantastic disguises, are always on hand when a wedding is to take place, and join in a most tremendous Charivari, nor can they be forced to retreat until they have received a due proportion of the sumptuous feast prepared." APOSTLES. At Cambridge, England, the last twelve on the list of Bachelors of Arts; a degree lower than the [Greek: oi polloi] "Scape-goats of literature, who have at length scrambled through the pales and discipline of the Senate-House, without being _plucked_, and miraculously obtained the title of A.B."--_Gradus ad Cantab._ At Columbian College, D.C., the members of the Faculty are called after the names of the _Apostles_. |
