...young man of grand poetic promise, we still cling to the popular judgment of the man and his work as being essentially the true one thus far. And notwithstanding that we deprecate, as much as any, all unmannerly gibes and epithets as tending to our own harm the most, still we claim that Mr. Wilde is a proper subject for reasonable satire and even ridicule, in all that in him is plainly exaggerated and absurd, - which is by no means little. For it is only in this way that the public is permitted to defend itself against the cant...
...EDITORS OF THE HERALD : I don't know whether there is really any use in spoiling a good story; but then there is no harm in accuracy, and the papers lately, you know, have been somewhat inaccurate in their statements and conclusions on the freshman Music Hall affair.

The demonstration of the students at Music Hall last evening, furnishes a case in point." Taken as a whole, the Boston papers expressed themselves with much greater fairness than has characterized their utterances in past years, and the freshmen...
...year ago the Acta Columbiana was hard at work trying to start the Intercollegiate Press Association, but failed in its attempt. It seems to us that no harm could possibly come from such an association, but, on the other hand, its members would derive a great deal of pleasure and profit from its meetings. The Acta has recently received calls from various parts of the country to renew its work in behalf of the association. In reply to these calls, it says : "To all those who ask our aid for this we beg leave to say that last year...
