...with the greatest regularity. Levison I' Evy succeeds to the same seat at the same "swell" table which Montairon Von Aaron, the now popular Sophomore, occupied last year; smiles as sweetly, shakes as many hands, pays the same delicate attention to influential upper-class men, and, in general, follows the lead of his successful predecessor. No sooner has Tobias Nightoil become possessed of the threadbare carpet and scanty furniture whilom the property of Bartholomew Bat, than the mantle of that man of marks descends upon him; he secludes himself in his room, sometimes to emerge and rush frantically to recitation...
...independence, by sacrificing honest convictions to the demands of party; granted that the populace often prefer a superficial pretender (without capacity, acquirement, or character, and possessing only sagacity in pandering to the inclination of the hour) to a man of integrity and knowledge, - it does not on these accounts follow that no young man who aspires to a high standard of excellence should venture into public life. If the republic is now suffering from maladministration, the fault is theirs (if such a class there be) who, while having the wisdom and the character to guide her aright, decline to develop...

The only Freshman present, we understand, was the president of the convention, Mr. Cook of Yale, and he represented the College, not his class...
...Scientifics." No notice was given to either Amherst or Harvard Freshmen, the only two other entries; much less did they ask it as a favor. In the latter case, we have no doubt Harvard would have yielded without a murmur, while Amherst would not have been slow to follow. As it is, both Amherst and Harvard have refused to row against Yale's consolidated Freshman crew. That they are justified in so doing by the course Yale has pursued, no one unprejudiced can doubt. With some degree of sharpness, however, the Yale Courant notices this disagreement. "Dishonorable" and "cowardly...
