...hundred years old. Clio, as her rival is familiarly termed, is a few years older, and sets up that fact as a match for Whig's founder. The truth is that the numbers and influence of both societies remain about equal, and there appears to be no danger of either one's obtaining a preponderance in any direction. In the list of honorary members, Whig and Clio divide nearly all of the professors and instructors of the college, and number besides many of the most distinguished men in the country, the best not being limited to graduates of Princeton...
From Mass., with its lines of cruel forms flanked on either side by an incongruous mass of broken chairs and desks, to Harvard and the funeral blackness therein contained, to Sever with its shiny but hard hearted benches, to our Laboratories with their curious devices for holding students, as it were, in situ for an hour at a time, - through all the weary round constantly the observer's wonder increases at the conditions under which existence can make even a partially successful contest with extinction. There are three or four main classes into which these seating facilities may be divided...
...obvious that, since these courses are open to undergraduates, they must be taken in connection with the regular college work. They count either as a whole or half courses. Already complications have arisen as to the number of them that may be taken at one time. If the present courses prove successful, as we have no doubt they will, and the other departments offer similar ones, a very considerable problem looms up in the near future.

...only in order to subject them to the severest condemnation.

...glorious gray-haired fable of the Harvard infidel, but he never met the unbeliever but once. The young atheist in question laughed at Christianity and boasted that Buddhism even was a more perfect faith. An older companion proved by three questions that the would-be Buddhist knew nothing of either religion, and that his state of mind was purely a result of improper home-training. Yet semi-religious and multo religious papers still echo the cry of "Harvard irreligion!" Is it that our alumni are sceptics? More Harvard graduates to-day fill our prominent pulpits than the graduates...
