...titles themselves almost frighten us. "Friendship," "Purpose," "Ruhmes Halle," - these have an unpleasant abstractness about them and hardly seem to belong to college journalism. Still, it must be confessed, some of these attempts at philosophy, at the ethical and the didactic, are exceedingly well made, and would reflect credit on papers of a higher order...
...sorry to have to mention that there are now quite a number of men in college who do not belong to the Co-operative Society, yet who do not scruple to purchase goods at the store in Dane Hall, and even go further and obtain the regular reduction from the affiliated tradesmen. In justice to these men to whom we refer, it must be said that there is no deliberate intention of circumventing the Co-op.

Indeed it is a sad spectacle - the world tending to degradation. The history of the world is a record of degradations and deliverances. The world has fallen and there have come great heroes, agents of the Creator, to raise it again...
...money is necessary to procure the proper men for so important a board. Oxford and Cambridge have followed this plan successfully for years, but theirs is a board of well paid officers. The community of interest between the schools and the colleges is absolute. The hard drudgery should not belong entirely to the school, and the inspiration to the college. There is no demarkation, with one spirit of education on the one side and another spirit of education on the other. The colleges cannot prosper unless the schools also prosper. The colleges of New England do not keep pace with...
