...school of the wild, the metaphysical, the intensely poetical poets, who commune with their shape-teeming grates, and draw deep thoughts from their beer-mugs. The poets of this school are carefully excluded - in their wild moods - from the papers of the Eastern colleges; but in the free and unbounded West they flourish like so many green bay-trees, and rack their brains for metaphors which would set Pope's teeth on edge could he hear them; but they have at least the poetic spirit, and are apt to make fewer metrical mistakes than their more sensible and prosaic compeers...

...will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week. The Anvil's own sportive account of the Convention is scarcely free from a certain "one-sidedness" that it complains of in others. The paper is interesting, and all the articles well written, though the subjects are foreign to college affairs...

...excessive modesty is not a common failing of the age. The boy who dragged his new trousers around in the dust before wearing them, so that their freshness might not be suspected, was an uncommon child. Boys don't do so now. Even the persons who are seemingly most free from the common weakness, if you but change their circumstances a little, are as subject...
