...though in many respects not up to our ideas of such a publication. It unfortunately possessed in some degree the fault common to most of its kind, weakness in illustration, but its general appearance is prepossessing. The heavy bound covers are a novel but sensible departure, while the outside design is very unique and artistic.

Here the leisure hours of every day are passed; the piano and organ stand invitingly open; the convenient sleepy-hollow lures one to recline at ease while he reads a novel from the well-filled book-case close at hand. Here the evenings are whiled away in pleasant chat on college matters or in a beguiling game of whist; and here at various times the students, a choice number, with a few invited guests, devote the evening...
