...should like to see every college student take, but hardly gave sufficient reason for it. We may go on a spree, but do not let us, allow the world to know it. If your space has not been already too much occupied with the procession question would you grant me a little now? If '87 and '88, as they undoubtedly will, decide to carry a transparency bearing the result of the canvass in their class, it is the duty of every man who voted for Cleveland to go in the Blaine procession, paradoxical as this may seem. Those...
...words or phrases put under the ban, charged with being Americanisms, have been proved to be English, and good, old English at that. Our use of the words "guess" and "well" is one of the most familiar of these. Indeed, we must not look to London (pace Mr. Richard Grant White) if we would like to hear English as she is spoke by those who know how to speak her.

The short story of the number is a sketch of character and incident, by H. C. Bunner, entitled "The Red Silk Handkerchief...
...ought not to get a degree, simply because she is a woman, even when she passes the same examinations and does the same amount of work as a man, is unreasoning obstinacy. Let us hope this simple question will be settled without more ado, and let the English faculties grant for a certain amount of work a proportionate reward to women, just as they now grant them a certificate. If the question must still be quibbled over and discussed, the men who are now blindly opposing a liberal idea, will some day awake and see to their surprise, like...
