In these lines of his famous Reunion Poem, "The Boys," Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes commemorated his old friend and college-mate, Dr. Samuel Francis Smith, author of "America." Samuel Francis Smith was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 21, 1808. He attended the Latin School in his native city, and it is said that when only twelve years old he could "talk Latin."
Her husband checked her. "You have not seen him since he was sixteen. Boys like that have wild notions of romance and devotion. They change when they're older." The lawyer took the word. "Captain Rullock doubtless buried all that years ago. His wearing the King's coat hauds for proof." Munro Touris had been college-mate in Edinburgh.
For this purpose I wish to know from what part of this Kingdom the Morses emigrated, and if you can recollect anything that belongs to the arms. I have seen the arms of one Morse which have been in the family three hundred years. So we can trace our antiquity as far as any family." A letter from a college-mate, Mr.
"Indeed I know it, old boy," said Vibbard, heartily. He rose, came to his old college-mate and took hold of his disengaged arm with both hands, affectionately. "Look here," he added; "there's been something queer and dismal about seeing each other, after such a long interval, something awkward about this settlement between us. If I've done anything to hurt your feelings, Thorny, I'm sorry.
Like as not O. K. has a dad who used to be a college-mate of Mr. Leonard." Hugh himself, followed by Thad, walked that way. Hugh had been told by Mr. Leonard that he was to be the field captain of the Scranton High team. In fact, that seemed to be taken for granted by all the boys, who were very well satisfied to have such a general favorite and all-round good athlete for a leader.
A few moments later a young girl, Miss Fanny Cummings, came in with a young man who looked like an actor, but was, in fact, Hugh's college-mate and "advance man" for Helen, and together they went down to the auto-car. There was a well-defined sense of luxury in being in Helen Merival's party.
He remembered the words spoken by a college-mate who was contemplating marriage. Mostyn shuddered even as he smiled. It was doubtlessly true, and yet he had gone too far with Dolly to desert her now. He couldn't bear to have her know him for the weakling that he was.
In so far, however, as Hawthorne suffered the penalties of celebrity at the hands of intrusive fellow-citizens, he was soon to escape from this honourable incommodity. On the 4th of March, 1853, his old college-mate and intimate friend, Franklin Pierce, was installed as President of the United States.
Honoria herself, mistress of a clear two thousand pounds a year, and more in prospect, carried out plans formed while still at Newnham after her brother's death. She, like Vivien Warren, her three-years-younger friend and college-mate, was a great mathematician a thing I never could be and a status I am incapable of understanding; consequently one I view at first with the deepest respect.
Hare will tell you that I am to be trusted with the helm, even when the wind blows right smartly, as it sometimes does even on that now placid stream. But with his memories of the magnificent Hudson, he was too prone to quiz me about what he called our pretty rivulet. You know him, do you not?" "Oh, well. He was Beverly's college-mate and mine, though somewhat our senior."
