...governing boards who are connected professionally with the college. The overseers-and the corporation too-devote to its interests only such time as they can spare from other pursuits. Of course they necessarily receive all their information at second hand. These two things constitute-as they themselves frankly admit-their weakness. This weakness should be removed, unless the college is to be ruled in the future as its charter causes it to be ruled at present, namely by a single man, the president, acting through a body of office holders of his own appointment, and a cabinet-not experts either...
...admit that is a fine thing to be a thorough classical scholar that it is no small honor to lead one's class in mathematics, that the student who enters heartily into the Natural Sciences will be repaid by the pleasure he receives; but we honestly believe that the one who, if need be, neglects any of these things a little that he may learn better to express his thoughts and his voice, will be better prepared for whatever practical work may come to him in the future, and, therefore, it seems to us that elocution should at least...

Until the appearance of the last named sheet, we really have had no literary paper for some years. We have had a humorous paper, a light-almost dilettantic-paper, and a newspaper; and the change in the character of our periodicals does...
...procedure. Why does it not name the gentleman who misbehaved in the wrestling? Why does it say nothing about the gentlemen in the first meeting whose eactics were precisely the same as those of the gentleman alluded to, although without the same effect? Why does it not admit that there was another gentleman in the light-weight who also "slugged" to the full extent of his powers, and also possessed but very little science? The facts of the case are that the gentleman so severely criticised was pressed by Mr. Clark against his own desires, to enter the light weight...
