...doubt. It remains to be seen, however, whether individuals will back their abstract preferences, or let the question, "ought the faculty to treat undergraduates as boys or men?" be settled, for many years to come, by a few irresponsible larkers acting for their own personal amusement now. I must confess that the weak point of the Harvard character seems to me to be a lack of moral courage in the deeper affairs of life. An individual who comes here full of it, finds himself in a non-conducting medium. His vibrations die away like the sound of a bell...
...explain the origin of evil. Replied the president, with a strong Doric accent: - "Well, ye have asked me a vera deeficult question. All the feelosophers of antiquity have tried their hand at it. Sookrates tried it and failed; Plato did no better. Descarites, Spinoza and Leibnitz were obliged to confess it was too much for them. Kant tried it and made a mess of it, and to tell you the truth, gentlemen, (chewing his thumb-knuckle very vigorously) I canna make much of it myself." - University Herald...

The evil, we have to confess, does, does exist in a noticeable degree, and being interested in the reputation and welfare of the college we trust the reminder, given by our correspondent, will not go unnoticed. Profanity is quite as out of place on the foot-ball field as in the parlor...
...article from the pen of some prominent alumnus, and common report assigned to Mr. Wendell the honor of contributing the first of this series. Such proves to be the case. The Monthly opens with a sketch by the author of the Duchess Emilia, entitled "Draper." We must confess to a little disappointment in reading it, and dared we say it, we would remark that this article is not the feature of the magazine. C. O. Hurd, '86, has a critical article on Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue," in which Poe is called to task for want of logic...
