...wish to commend the action taken by the authorities of Cambridge in regard to the voting of students. An impression that a student could not vote at Cambridge has previously prevailed in the University.

The prize oration on Carlyle is certainly original and thoughtful, though we cannot commend its style. The editors of the Lit. should be careful about quotations. Horace and Coleridge both suffer in this number...
