...introduce reforms into the modes of declamation which have hitherto shown themselves to be productive of the highest success. This evening will again see those methods brought before the public. The exercises will, if we can judge from the preliminary selection of speakers, and the selections for declamation, prove equal to those of past years. Greater interest in elocution has never flourished in the college than to-day, and such a contest as the prize-speaking promises to be is a fit close of the labors of both students and instructor...
...every third or fourth picture an old skull with high cheek bones; and, when the model itself was found in an out-of-the-way corner, it was like coming upon an old friend. The sculpture, of which there were several very good pieces on exhibition, was still not equal in excellency to the painting; but, of course, this is not surprising.

We challenge him to produce this good authority, for charges of this kind should not be made unless substantiated by something more than vague...

We much regret this mistake; it arose from a misunderstanding on our part, and we hasten to correct...

The following is from his letter of last week: "All things considered, there is no good reason why these men should not be equal to, if not better, than last year. Taking it for granted that Harvard will present her strongest crew, Yale will, I think, have as reasonable a chance as she did last year. To call Yale's chances poor would be an opinion of hopes and fears, and not good judgment...
