These are entirely separate institutions. Each one has its own particular head, called a master; warden, provost, etc. To each college appertain a number of fellows, whose positions are almost opposite to those of the fellows of American colleges, since they are persons who have won their places solely by hard study and high standing-in fact, they are generally poor but bright graduates. The sizars, Bible clerks and scholars are bright undergraduates. Nearly all the resident fellows are tutors, bursars or deans. The tutors answer to our professors and instructors, preparing men for the two great examinations both...

It is very unfortunate that the hour at which these lectures are held prevents so many upper class men from attending, as they are interesting and of importance...
...Yale. For although there is probably plenty of the "fence" about the grounds in New Haven to accommodate all the freshmen who wish to "pipe their tuneful lays," there is not enough ground about the tree to admit of the exercises being carried through successfully. This year there are almost a hundred more men than last year in college who have a right to go to the tree, and it is probable that in time the classes will grow still larger. That a change must be made sooner or later is evident. The question naturally arises as to who must...
