...William M. Barbour D. D., pastor of Yale University, has tendered his resignation, to take effect next June. When Mr. Barbour assumed the pastorate, he limited his period of service at ten years, and offers his resignation because the limit of time will expire at the end of the present academic year...
...there is a wild ring in the concise lines which adds double force to the warrior's savage and boastful song. "A Country Frolic" is a jolly life-like sketch, almost making one see the party at the "Forge."

The effect of this policy is to compel a student to cut a day or two if he intends to spend any time at all at home and means to enjoy himself while there. Above all, a length of time longer than now existing should be given to the students at Christmas...
