There we found nine or ten Black Forest grandees assembled around a table.
At this crisis Louise gracefully retires, leaving us to our replenished bowl. “My friends!” shouts the student, mounting on a chair, “listen to me for a moment.” And then he plunges into an eloquent discourse upon the beauties of fraternity, and the union of nations, concluding his harangue by proposing a “Lebe hoch” to Alcibiade and myself.
"Now," continued the Irishman, after he had fairly placed himself in an attitude of defence; "come an whiniver yer loike. Larry O'Gorman is riddy for ye, an' another av the same at yer dhirty back. Hoch, faugh-a-ballah, hiloo, whallabaloo!" The strange ceremonial upon the raft, hitherto carried on with some show of solemnity, had reached an unexpected crisis.

As the good mother at home was to each student in that assembly, so was their dear Alma Mater to them all. He drank his beaker to all good Korps students, to all the brave colours there assembled, to all the professors, to the University itself, 'Hoch, Schwarzburg!
