...easily overcome. But, after all, it was a thing of a useless kind; well enough, perhaps, for those with a fondness for it, but certainly not worth a serious consideration from a body of men having, like our respected Faculty, so much weightier business to conduct. In a course which could by any possibility prove beneficial to those pursuing it, there would, no doubt, have been appointed an instructor who should bestow upon it his undivided and fullest efforts. Not so Roman Law. It was sufficient to engage the services for a few hours a week of a gentleman whose...
...word before we close in regard to the tone of the Republican's criticism of the Magenta. We pass by as of little consequence the sneers concerning our "fine-sounding but meaningless" phrases; either the Republican would not find a meaning (which conduct was highly immoral in a paper of such pretensions), or it could not; in which case, either it was stupid, or we admit we were to blame.

The place was long and winding, lighted by gas, with a little shelf at each end, just like the seal's tank in an aquarium. Leaving...
...origin of the plan is due to an association of Boston ladies, who also undertake the conduct of the examinations, which will be held in Boston. The College, however, stands ready to make a similar arrangement with any association in the country which can guarantee a sufficient number of candidates. Such a system has been operating successfully during the past ten or twelve years at the English Universities...
