Another rather interesting figure among the men of the classes above me was Thomas Hill, afterward President of the College.
He was a good mathematician and a good preacher.

One winter's day a little gaunt-looking and unhappy pig that had strayed away from a drove wandered into the College Yard just as the boys were coming out of evening prayers.

The whole surface of the yard was covered with a sheet of thin and very slippery ice.

It was rather hard to stand up on it.
