...impossible for him to resist that attack!" It was, indeed. These exhibitions of brutality were made two or three times every lecture, until Professor Reid's features were wholly undistinguishable, and he was inclined to doubt the testimony of his own consciousness. Mr. Stewart, too, whom Professor Hamilton had also used for purpose of illustration, but much more tenderly, had received severe punishment; while Dr. Brown had been knocked senseless the first time he appeared, and had been seen no more...
...denied us. Dread of an examination was all that kept us from going to sleep. And the dread was fully justified by the examination when it came: "In a certain case, what is the defence advocated by Reid and Stewart, and what are Hamilton's objections to it, - explaining, also, his defence?"

...West, he has come to a conclusion hostile to them. Oberlin College, which began without distinguishing in any manner the female from the male students, has at last almost developed into two colleges under one name; the women taking both courses and degrees different from the men. It is also significant that the matron told Mr. Eliot that she would be unwilling to have a daughter of hers in Oberlin College. The President said, or implied, that the physique of women rendered them unfit for such education as men get. It is unfortunate, we think, that the testimony of leading...
