...repeated a number of times. There is in the cast a character by the name of Ishmael Ackbar, a Spanish Gypsy. For a Spaniard to be called Ishmael Ackbar is something a little too ridiculous. Ishmael is Hebrew, Ackbar, Turkish. Of course such a play as this could not exist without a murder in it. If it did not have one in fine style, the audience might think themselves cheated, and demand their money back. They are not disappointed, however, for it comes at the end of the third act, with lightning, stage thunder, dark woods, and all the necessary...

It is too late to do anything this spring about the matter. The faculty want us to take this matter into our own hands, and we hope that next fall, the various classes will each appoint two or three members...
...what goes through the mail; if there were, who would not exercise his rights to have all advertisements and unpaid bills, and Brine blotters and poco cards excluded from his room? We believe that a sober, second thought will convince the gentleman that if tutors have the right to exist, and if they have a right to use the United States mail, or the columns of a daily paper, it matters little how they advertise themselves; and no reasoning man will deny that they have a legal and moral right to do this, and to advertise their trade...
