...however, a tendency towards meddling with politics, national or local. The little journal swells out enormously, and disagrees most decidedly with a recent appointment at Washington, or thinks that the city had better "begin work on the grading" of such and such a street as soon as possible. The current number contains its Thanksgiving editorial, and the reader almost sees the enthusiastic editor devouring the famous morsels of turkey, with eyes dilated, face jovial, and lips smeared with the oeleaginous parts of the "drum-stick." The picture is almost tantalizing. We leave the editorials and turn to the contributed articles...
Many writers have found something in Harvard's Elective System to engage their attention. Few, however, have written so complete a refutation of the charges made against election of college studies, as has Professor G. H. Palmer in his article on "The New Education," which appeared in the current Andover Review. Professor Palmer's words are especially persuasive as he is "that man who himself has been persuaded."

There are few things which will not grow tiresome if brought continually to our notice. The subject of "Religious Decadence at Harvard" is no exception to this rule. The Nation, we are glad to see, has published in its current issue, a complete refutation of the article on the subject published previously. We hope that the discussion will now be allowed to rest.

The fact that the action has been their own, and not prompted...
...evolved was such a delicious blending of wavy bangs, "Langtry twists," "French knots," "waterfalls" and curls that it has been adopted by a large majority as the college mode, and bids fair to become the rage all over the country. The "average girl" herself bore a striking resemblance to current likenesses of Minerva, though the mouth indicated a decided penchant for caramels and ice cream, and there was a suspicious droop of one eyelid, which showed the sensitiveness of the organ in question when exposed to the light. But can any one imagine Minerva with a decidedly marked pair...
