...Round Table contains a very pretty imitation of T. Buchanan Reed's "Bay of Naples," entitled "Moonlight Song." It is a relief to find so correct a piece of versification after reading the rough and unmusical verses which abound in most of the college papers...
...F.THE Princetonian has reached the third number of its first volume, and as college papers go it may be called good. The editorial department might be decidedly improved.

Their songs and stories live to-day; but the "glory has departed out of Juda," and their volumes often lie dusty and worm eaten on the shelf. They abound, however, in poetry, - legendary, amorous, humorous, - and are well worthy of perusal...
