...rapidly pushed by the photographer for the completion of the Cambridge studio, which will be located in the store formerly occupied by Moses King. Mr. Notman and the committee are to be congratulated on having procured a studio so conveniently located as the present one. The situation is as central as could possibly be obtained and affords no excuse for that negligence which so many men have proverbially shown in arranging for their sittings. We understand that the studio will be fitted up in the best possible manner and will be in the charge of a skilled operator who will...
...college work is carried on within one large building which is fitted up in a style which is simply startling to one accustomed to the hard benches and bare walls of his own college. The dormitory system pursued, in many respects, resemble that in vogue at Harvard. The central college building is located on a hill over-looking the lake and college grounds. The views from its windows are very fine. This building has a large court in its interior arranged after the manner of the Roman atrium from which branch off the various corridors, officers and reception rooms...
...expense as the shape of the building is not of any material hindrance. The site is not a bad one for such a purpose, and while a swimming bath connected with the new gymnasium might be somewhat more convenient, yet, the present site of the old gymnasium is fairly central, and near Memorial.

...imitation is the best flattery, then Mr. Mitchell, the editor of Life, should be very much pleased ; for even the title page of Quip is copied. Almost every figure in it is adapted, and poorly adapted, from either the old or the new cover of Life, and the central figure, which shows a trace of originality does not strike us as having any connection with the paper. On the title page we find the motto of the paper "Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee jest and youthful jollity, quips and cranks and wanton wiles...
...Campus" is better than the average of the reading matter, but the rest of the editorial page is spoiled by a series of editorials on the name and reception of the paper. From these editorials we learn that Quip is "a girl," and from this infer that the central figure on the title page is a portrait of the fair daughter-in-law of Life. We think the editors should have adopted the name suggested in the last editorial, the Yale Brace, as indicating the decided need of the paper. The first picture (on page 5) is enough to spoil...
