...college. His standing in scholarship here leads us to expect that he will succeed well in his theological studies preparatory to entering the Presbyterian ministry. Now only twenty-three, he has the promise of a long and useful life among his people in the Indian Territory. The Collegian unites with his many friends at the college and in Salem in wishing him well deserved success...
Most of our American colleges designate the grounds upon which the principle buildings are grouped as the Campus. Here it is simply the "yard," a name quite strange in this sense to the ears of the ordinary collegian. The whole yard now includes about twenty four acres. The first grant was made by the old town and consisted of four and a quarter acres situated where Holworthy, Hollis and Stoughton now stand.

When students graduate, they put away base-ball (unless they join the professionals), boating, foot-ball, and other like amusements ; but the collegian who learns to use the gun or rifle has acquired something that will last through his lifetime. The recreation of shooting is one that will not interfere with the dignity of any station in life...
