...cannot let pass the opportunity of joining with the Advocate, in earnestly hoping that Mr. Childs will consent to deliver in Cambridge his lectures on English Ballad Poetry, so that the members of the University and others may hear them. We were almost inclined to be jealous at the good fortune of the people of Baltimore, until we saw that such a feeling would be unreasonable; we remembered that, until last week, no desire to hear Mr. Childs's lectures had been publicly expressed. We do not think that any modesty on our part should keep us from expressing...

It is a matter of regret, however, that none of the associations challenged is willing to send a six-oared crew. The race which it was hoped would take place, May 25, between the six of the winning club and the amateur sixes, will be given up, therefore; but that...
...suppose it is our duty to say something about the Cornell comic paper, Cocague. Some of the illustrations are good, some are not good, and of the letterpress none is good. However, we must not decide hastily, and if the tinge of vulgarity which is perceptible in this number disappears in the next, we may be led to a more favorable opinion of this new venture...
