...brilliancy. Though this criticism is to a large extent just, there is one matter in which our great metropolitan journals need to look to themselves. It is indeed a fault which is exceedingly prevalent in the highest class of our newspapers. I refer to the continual use of certain words and phrases, perhaps rather expressive originally, but which have been fairly worn out by indiscriminate and excessive use on all possible occasions...
...will enter a certain room in Hollis and take for my centre-piece a life-sized picture of a "Goody" holding in one hand a broom, emblematical of her occupation; around her a great many names are written, not to indicate that these are the names of so many chivalrous knights ready to do battle for the "fair maid," but simply to denote who the occupants of the room have been since 1815, or thereabouts, if we are correctly informed...

They, therefore, ought to take pains to insure to every graduate more than a mere smattering. Everybody allows that such instructors as are appointed to have charge of these studies should consult...
...that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week. The Anvil's own sportive account of the Convention is scarcely free from a certain "one-sidedness" that it complains of in others. The paper is interesting, and all the articles well written, though the subjects are foreign to college affairs...
