...question is when is this state of things coming to an end? Manifestly not when two individuals who have been committing systematic robbery, are allowed to go free after paying a fine of fifteen dollars. Yet such was the penalty that the court of Cambridge saw fit to inflict on the aforesaid freshmen. When thieves can systematically steal with a small risk of detection, in spite of the watchful vigilance of those in charge of the gymnasium, and when, if detected, they can go scott free by paying a sumequal to not one quarter of what they stole...
...violent blow that the overseers have seen fit to inflict on the classical department of the University by permitting the departure of so excellent a scholar as Professor Croswell in addition to the loss of Professor Dyer, whose scholarship is no less universally acknowledged. It is not here our place to criticise the course of events that led to this wholly unexpected - might we say unwarranted - loss.

We learn with interest that a branch of the Smith family has been bold enough to go west and inflict its bane on western printers of college catalogues, who find the capital s's in their fonts far below the demand. "Arnold's father spent Sunday with him." Our sympathy for Arnold has no bounds. "Miss Daisy Lovejoy climbed the hill Saturday." A daisy on a hill-side is a picture...
