professors.  He is now remanded to his room to take his bed, and to rise about midnight bell for breakfast.  The ‘Callithumpians’ (in this Institution a regularly organized company), ‘Squallinaders,’ or ‘Masquers,’ perform their part during the livelong night with instruments ’harsh thunder grating,’ to insure to the poor youth a sleepless night, and give him full time to con over and curse in his heart the miseries of a college existence.  Our fellow-comrade is now up, dressed, and washed, perhaps two hours in advance of the first light of dawn, and, under the guidance of a posse comitatus of older students, is kindly conducted to his morning meal.  A long alley, technically ‘Green Alley,’ terminating with a brick wall, informing all, ’Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther,’ is pointed out to him, with directions ‘to follow his nose and keep straight ahead.’  Of course the unsophisticated finds himself completely nonplused, and gropes his way back, amidst the loud vociferations of ‘Go it, green un!’ With due apologies for the treatment he has received, and violent denunciations against the former posse for their unheard-of insolence towards the gentleman, he is now placed under different guides, who volunteer their services ‘to see him through.’  Suffice it to be said, that he is again egregiously ‘taken in,’ being deposited in the Rotunda or Lecture-room, and told to ring for whatever he wants, either coffee or hot biscuit, but particularly enjoined not to leave without special permission from one of the Faculty.  The length of his sojourn in this place, where he is finally left, is of course in proportion to his state of verdancy.”

INSPECTOR OF THE COLLEGE.  At Yale College, a person appointed to ascertain, inspect, and estimate all damages done to the College buildings and appurtenances, whenever required by the President.  All repairs, additions, and alterations are made under his inspection, and he is also authorized to determine whether the College chambers are fit for the reception of the students.  Formerly the inspectorship in Harvard College was held by one of the members of the College government.  His duty was to examine the state of the College public buildings, and also at stated times to examine the exterior and interior of the buildings occupied by the students, and to cause such repairs to be made as were in his opinion proper.  The same duties are now performed by the Superintendent of Public Buildings.—­Laws Yale Coll., 1837, p. 22. Laws Harv.  Coll., 1814, p. 58, and 1848, p 29.

The duties of the Inspector of the College Buildings, at Middlebury, are similar to those required of the inspector at Yale.—­Laws Md.  Coll., 1839, pp. 15, 16.

IN STATU PUPILLARI.  Latin; literally, in a state of pupilage.  In the English universities, one who is subject to collegiate laws, discipline, and officers is said to be in statu pupillari.
