...little, world by themselves; but is there not some slight danger of this being carried too far? Many a man who seems distasteful at first, and whom we may avoid through college, would on cultivating his acquaintance show a pleasant side of his character never before suspected to exist, and would be heartily enjoyed. We are too apt to shut ourselves up with our own friends, and from the loopholes of our retreat to view the rest of our classmates with exceedingly indifferent eyes.

The athlete has admirable facilities for developing ad infinitum his rowing, batting, or kicking powers; the linguist can revel in the Cercle Francais and the Der Verein; the Natural History Society promotes the interest of science; while the S. Paul's and the Christian Brethren offer spiritual comfort to gentlemen of a serious turn. Social, literary, and artistic organizations are not wanting; but there is a lack, - for there is no body...
