...Japanese ivy bids fair to transform completely the appearance of the streets in our northern cities, and it will be a pity if our college buildings do not share this transformation. We have a little ivy here and there. And no one who has observed what a change this little makes in the dingy, dusty, dreariness of the older buildings, can help regretting that the college has not taken the trouble during past years to set out more vines. The autumn coloring of these ivy leaves during the past few weeks has been most beautiful. And when we think...

From recent reports we learn that the staid and studious halls of Vassar have been the scenes of many noisy and turbulent partisan demonstrations. Strange to say, however, the fair politicians have not rallied in support of Belva Lock-wood, as one would most naturally suppose. The college has divided on purely party lines, one contingent arraying itself under the banner of the G. O. P., the other, and smaller, division espousing the cause of the Democracy.
