...might find in almost any other of our exchanges, and equally stale, flat, and unprofitable; but with one pleasing difference, that none of them is over a column and a half in length. When platitudes are the order of the day, those who write them most briefly deserve most credit and most thanks. In the Bowdoin Orient we find an essay of four columns in length on Emerson, which tells us nothing new, and suggests as little. We should have more patience with it, were it cut down, as it easily might be, to the length of the articles...
...exhibition of water-colors and drawings which is now open at 2 Thayer reflects great credit on the Art Club, which has opened to the public the valuable collection of works of art made by Mr. Moore during his recent residence in Europe.

...Great credit is due to the marshals, Mr. Thayer, Mr. Bancroft, and Mr. William Otis, for the able way in which they performed their duties. The Class-Day Committee deserve the praise of the college as well as of the class for the completeness of their arrangements, and for the smoothness and precision with which these arrangements were carried out. Mr. Teschemacher deserves especial mention for the energy and the executive ability he has shown in his onerous office. In concluding our notice of this Class Day we can only wish '79 as successful...
