...confesses that his life has been a failure." Is it not more melancholy to see a man who has so far forgotten the boundless hopes of his boyhood that he dies with the feeling that he is a successful man, - that the little money he has gotten, the little knowledge he has learned, or the little good he has done entitles him to cry "Plaudite" to all the world? Do not revelation and the words of the greatest men teach us to consider that the highest utterance men can make on leaving the world is a confession of failure...
...autograph-book of the Class of '74 is being prepared, and members of the Class will confer a favor by calling at No. 39 Grays, between the hours of 2 and 3 P. M., and leaving their autographs.

It is gotten up with much care, and is well calculated to convey an accurate idea of the requirements that will be made. There are to be two examinations in succeeding years, beginning with 1874, the former of which has to be passed before the latter can be applied for. The preliminary, examination, as it is called, embraces nearly all that is required for admission to college; while the second allows...
