...Columbia Spectator publishes a violent attack on Thwing's "American Colleges." The book has received more than its share of commendation, and less than its share of condemnation; it has many weak points, and a malevolent critic, like the writer in the Spectator, might have made Mr. Thwing feel very uncomfortably: but the attack is too general and too short-sighted to do that gentleman much damage; the author of the article has wasted a good opportunity.

Its author rejoices "in once more looking forward to a good foot-ball season," for the Courant's "love of sport overcomes...
...umbrella just then broke out with a new attack on the people in town, and ended with an inquiry as to the possibility of getting into any of the buildings. The desk informed them that they could walk around the Library, and might possibly be able to get into Memorial Hall...
