...Nation of March 11, Mr. Edward G. Bourne takes up the cudgels in defence of Yale, and attempts to point out some of the alleged weak points in the arguments used by Mr. Page. Mr. Bourne, in a very plausible and, to the general reader, convincing way, endeavors to drag into the discussion the scientific and theological departments of Harvard and of Yale. He tries to justify himself by saying that Harvard has opened to undergraduates of the academic department "many of the courses of the Divinity School," besides most of those of the Scientific School, and that therefore...
...Right jollily does the editor drag the burrs out of the exchange basket and examine the contents in search of his favorite food, and much does he find.

These meetings have, through the good sense and good nature of the students, as a rule, accomplished the business in hand, notwithstanding a severe drawback. This drag upon a business meeting, which ought to be conducted with decision and readiness, has, strange to say, been the very person elected to further the purposes of the meeting. In a word, the presiding officers of our meetings don't know how to preside. The painful, not to say pitiful ignorance of parliamentary rules displayed...
