Notwithstanding the highly anti-classical reputation which the opponents of the present system of Harvard give our university, there has recently been formulated a most convincing argument that Harvard still is a classical university. One of the last creations in the way of societies is the establishment of the Classical Club. All who have received second-year honors are eligible to membership, and the number of members is already large. The professors and instructors have actively interested themselves in the enterprise, and every thing promises a long and useful life to the club. We extend it our heartiest good wishes...
...considered in connection with college journalism. Women at college mean a much wider field for the work of the college editor, for they afford him readers for his "Fashion Notes," and "Society Happenings," and never leave him in want of spicy items for his "Local Column."

...make themselves learned, then their courses at college are not thorough successes. Every man should seek both to bring profit to himself and to give it to others; the double motive is the only complete motive. Beyond doubt in this fact we find the strongest argument for the establishment of what we may call intellectual societies, societies devoted to study and mutual improvement. Such societies cast aside the element of selfishness, and recognize and advance the element of generosity, of intellectual democracy, and the men who faithfully support them are helping themselves, and are helping also to improve and elevate...
