...vacant places, and there are at least three more who will shortly commence gymnasium work. Out of this number it is to be hoped that a first-class Nine will be selected next spring. Owing to the shortness of the fall season, and the incompleteness of the Nine, much cannot be accomplished before cold weather sets...
...repetition of a creed after it has become a phrase by the cooling of that white-hot conviction which once made it both the light and warmth of the soul," as Mr. Lowell defines it. But however this may be in regard to religion and such indifferent matters, one cannot be so sure of a college man's hatred of cant when he comes face to face with something in regard to which his prejudice or his passion may be excited.

Will the whole Finance-Ministers and Upholsterers and Confectioners of modern Europe undertake, in joint-stock company, to make one Shoeblack HAPPY? They cannot accomplish it, above an hour or two; for the Shoeblack also has a Soul quite other than his Stomach; and would require, if you consider it, for his permanent satisfaction and saturation, simply this allotment, no more and no less: God's infinite Universe altogether to himself...
