...would seem that six months at college ought to be enough to teach most men to suppress the school-boy exuberance of spirits known as "freshness." If the offenders are upper-classmen, we can only feel sorry that men have to exist whose intellects are feeble enough to find enjoyment in such juvenile tricks...
...subject of the discourse was "The Foundations of Christian Belief." It was a most eloquent sermon, and those students who did not hear it certainly lost a great opportunity. Dr. Abbott described the present age as one of great questionings; but he said that he was glad to find it so, because an age of doubt is an age of advancement.

One of the greatest dangers...

We have investigated the matter, and find that nearly all the complaints come from men who live in boarding-houses. The landladies of these boarding-houses object, it seems, to having the delivery boy enter at such an early hour, and consequently the doors are locked and the boy is given the alternative of leaving the papers on the steps outside, or of not leaving them at all. In either case the subscribers do not get their papers...
