...remarks,-speaking of the "University Quarterly"-"its affairs were wound up without loss to its conductors-a somewhat rare circumstance in the death of a college journal." He also speaks in the highest terms of the "Lampoon,"-"the success that attended "Lampy's effort" in view of the usual fate of American humorous journals, is good evidence of the excellence of its work. Many of its bon mots and verses have been exceedingly clever, and some of its cartoons are worthy of Du Maurier, "and again, speaking of "the latest development in American college journalism," he says, "the college daily...
...young women in those institutions are termed in the college slang of their student-brethren-and no matter how much they are on learning bent, nor how many "missions" their zealous souls have decided to take up, there is sure to be a wedding. It is a fate as inevitable as to-morrow, and the marriageable professor-to say nothing of the "co-ed"-cannot escape it.

But even if we allow some weight to this argument it tells still more strongly against the required system. For if a man of 20 or over, with the united wisdom of friends, parents, and instructors to back him, cannot select a suitable course of study...
...ejected "at the toe of the boot" from the college which he had entered only a few hours before with all his accustomed dignity. The next morning three of the rioters were rusticated, but all who were engaged in the riot begged that they might share the same fate, because they were all equally guilty. The riot was Anglican rather than Protestant in its character; was deliberately planned by English high church men, and was intended to rebuke the chief lay representative of the Roman propaganda in the university...
