It is superfluous, however, to give to persons possessed of even the moderate wisdom of college students reasons why we should attend to the laws of health. As a theory, the necessity of caring for our bodies is admitted by all; but Theory does not always walk hand in hand with her less flighty sister, Practice; she often wanders unattended, as in the present case.

Whether our servants be deserving or not, we shall go home with lighter...
...would urge all who are interested in English literature to attend these readings, where they can hear the comments and opinion of one of the first of Shaksperian scholars. This course, which Professor Child has so kindly thrown open to the students at large, and Professor Bocher's lectures on Moliere, are opportunities not to be neglected.
