...odist by the graduating class was not less judicious than that of orator, for both Mr. Grant's poem and Mr. Jackson's ode were fully up to the Class-Day standard. The exercises at the Church were interspersed with musical selections by the Germania Band, which, though undoubtedly fine, were too long for the occasion. It was not a concert, and it is hard to ask a crowd of young people to sit in the poorly ventilated Chapel for two hours on a hot Class-Day. We hope to see some change in this respect next June...
...word before we close in regard to the tone of the Republican's criticism of the Magenta. We pass by as of little consequence the sneers concerning our "fine-sounding but meaningless" phrases; either the Republican would not find a meaning (which conduct was highly immoral in a paper of such pretensions), or it could not; in which case, either it was stupid, or we admit we were to blame. But when this newspaper implies that we are not to be trusted, as being ignorant whereof we speak, we must protest. Was the Republican conscious that its own title...
LAST Monday a thief went through the clothes, left in the boat-house, of those bathing and rowing, and carried off three fine watches, the united value of which is over $600.

...common sense, rather than a severe taste employing imagination as a tractable servant. There are many other schools, - that of the fireside dreamers, the easy rhymsters (who are closely connected with the babblers), and others, - but there is not room to speak of them, or of the really fine poets, who usually have something of the good qualities of all schools, and to whom the college papers are indebted for a large part of their popularity...
...corrections be made in the article in question. The subject of the elective embraces the elements of "Physical Geography, Meteorology, and Structural Geology." That the desired specimens of "metals, fossils, and rocks" cannot be introduced in two of these divisions is self-evident. For instruction in Physical Geography a fine globe, maps, and other necessary means for instruction in the department are employed, not perhaps sufficient for an extended course, but for all that the elective professes to embrace. Object-teaching has, as yet, hardly been introduced into the study of Meteorology, and where such teaching has been introduced...
