...seems to me that there is a want which ought before long to be supplied everywhere, and especially here. I refer to the arrangement of a class of preliminary studies especially adapted to the preparation of the young men to take an efficient part in the treatment of difficult questions connected with the management of public affairs." For granted, what is so often urged, that to obtain place one must generally blunt all nice sensibility, indeed, must lose much of his spirit of independence, by sacrificing honest convictions to the demands of party; granted that the populace often prefer...
...first number. Our contributors, although few in number as compared with the men in college who can and ought to write, have been extremely obliging and constant. We hope that more men will write for us next year.

Indeed, we have never heard a burlesque given with such painstaking care as regards this last feature. Some of the choruses attempted were very difficult and exacting, but all were rendered in the most precise and satisfactory manner. The college songs at the beginning of the third act were a prominent feature of the entertainment, and the audience grew very enthusiastic over them. Even poor old "Fair Harvard" was resurrected and sung in time, which fact...
