...poetical nature of the book is also to be noticed, which is a rare merit in a work of this nature. The divinus afflatus has rarely inspired a man to indite odes to his mother-in-law, and almost as rarely does the gentle muse of poetry venture over into the stern and barren fields of philosophy. It has been said that Locke only needed rhyme to become a poet. We submit respectfully to the author the propriety of turning his work into a metrical form. To revel in a lyric on the "Complex Modes of Extension or Duration...
...batting of our Eleven was very weak, with the exception of a fine stand for 27, made by Dwight, '74, who took the first over and saw eight wickets fall before his own. Mr. Tilden's hitting was also effective. The fielding of our Eleven, too, with the exception of Garrett and Bruce, was far below its standard, although Withington's long stopping was good.

The word itself is popular almost everywhere in this country, and we find it here as the index to a view of life that is also widely held, though rarely so frankly stated. This view can be given in a few sentences. The business of a man's life is happiness, which, if not equivalent to, is at least entirely dependent on, success. The attainment of some final object, whatever it is, is thus the great requisite in his life; and, success being insured...
...Fall Races for the Graduates' cup were rowed last Saturday afternoon, over the Charles River course, from the Union Boat-House, one mile and return. There was only one entry for the single-scull and one for the double-scull race. Owing to rough water, and also to the fact of the same men being down for the six-oared race, no single or double-scull appeared when the race was called. It is to be regretted that such was the case, as Mr. Wiley and Mr. James, who had entered, by their creditable performance on the Saturday previous...
