...really witty articles that appear from time to time. Were General Garfield not to be our next President, the Athenoeum might be more entertaining reading. Of the Vassar Miscellany we have little to say, because there is so much to praise, so little to - not condemn, but differ from. It is a model among the monthlies; the department, De Temporibus et Moribus, we have sufficiently commended heretofore . . . The Cornell papers form the strongest possible contrast to the Miscellany, - captious and undignified in manner, engaged in quarrelling with each other, discourteous in the extreme toward other colleges. The Era has disgraced...
...member of the society. A movement was therefore set on foot to amend the constitution so as to admit men into the society whose character could not be impeached, whose membership the society would have reason to be proud of, but who have the misfortune to differ in opinion with the majority of the members about the truth of certain unessential beliefs.

In other words, a long standing precedent becomes in effect a law. These facts...
...differ wholly from the Advocate as to the duty of each Senior in subscribing to the Class Fund. In all previous classes it has been held obligatory for every man to contribute to the full extent of his means; and we trust that the members of the Class of '80, who have always been so liberal in their contributions to subscription-lists, will not fall behind in subscribing to the Class fund, the last and most pressing call upon the liberality of the present Senior class. The fund is a class fund, for the purpose of defraying all future class...
