...Meetings, as published in our yesterday's issue, differs slightly from that of last year. There will be no spring-board leaping, and our curiosity is not again to be gratified by an exhibition of German duelling. The management of the meetings has been satisfactory, as a rule, in former years, but we should like to suggest one much needed improvement. We refer to the present manner of admitting the audience to the gymnasium. Some means ought to be taken to prevent the dangerous and disgraceful crowding and pushing in the vestibule before the doors are opened. This can easily...
...College Students at Chapel Services," the Journal of Education has an article that at the present time is particularly applicable to Harvard. The writer excellently draws the distinction between a college and a university, showing how much more election in the study belongs to the latter than the former.

...many and so varied forms, is at Princeton centred in the two great debating societies, the American Whig, and Cliosophic societies. These two are introduced to the incoming freshman by the numerous and urgent appeals from members to join the one to which the particular advocate belongs. In former days the excitement over the acquirement of new members was very great at the beginning of a college year; and the abuses brought about by the zeal of injudicious members necessitated the negotiation of a treaty between the "Halls" to insure deliberation and care in the election of members.
