...paper accomplishes in American college life are numerous and important. It is, in the first place, a mirror of undergraduate sentiment, and is either scholarly or vulgar, frivolous or dignified, as are the students who edit and publish it. A father, therefore, debating where to educate his son, would get a clearer idea of the type of moral and intellectual character which a college forms in her students from a year's file of their fortnightly paper, than from her annual catalogue or the private letters of her professors. To the college officers, also, it is an indicator...
...well informed in that subject can be without a knowledge of European history during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Large numbers of students took the course, not because it was "soft," for there are many easier courses offered us, but with a view to the profit they would get from it. Now what did the Faculty do on seeing this? One would suppose they would have formed several sections in the course, and tried to make so valuable a course eligible for as many students as possible.

If he should sell...
...crews from start to finish, and it is guaranteed that they will do better than the poor tubs that followed the boats at Springfield last year; and there is no doubt that they will, for as New London is a seaport town, it of course has greater facilities for getting good boats than Springfield had. A train of platform cars, with seats arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, will also keep along by the side of the boats from start to finish. Each car will hold about eighty people, and it would certainly be a good plan if arrangements...
