Saug Centre had a school, I was sure, and Benjamin Emilius was a graduate. I pictured to myself the graduating exercises, where Benjamin Emilius had delivered a paper on "The Liability of Meteors to Influence Civilization," a subject that would do credit to the choice of a Professor in "Themes" in this vicinity. "Miss Jennie Smith delivered the class prophecy, in which the town peculiarities were handled with discriminating wit and severity" (vid. the report in the next morning's edition of the Saug Centre Phoenix), and the exercises were closed by a performance of the "Hussar's Charge...
...witness the sports than has been seen there at any previous exhibition. The fair sex was well represented, nearly one-third of the audience being composed of ladies, who showed their appreciation of the skill and agility of the participants in the games, by frequent and hearty applause.

A student at Harvard who cannot afford nurses and extra dishes when sick is surely in a most unenviable plight, and really the careless regulations provided by the college in such cases are very unsatisfactory and reflect no credit on the authorities.

The reflections on our goodies contained in the article, we resent with proper indignation, as ignorant slanders. Their comeliness...
...association go on as heretofore, if not, let it be suspended. It seems as if the association was not allowed a fair chance for existence by compelling it to suspend so near the close of a term. If the association suspends operations, even for a brief time, its credit will be injured so that it will never regain its former standing. There is not another institution of its kind and age in this country, perhaps not in the world. Its members can make it just what they wish it to be, provided they take an active interest in its affairs...
