...University. Such a statement does much to weaken the prejudices of skeptical outsiders. "Advice to Sophomores" is the second article. Every sophomore would do himself a service by a careful perusal of this homily. "His First Experience" is an unpretentious detective reminiscence supposed to be narrated by an inspector. "How do You Live?" is pregnant with new and sensible observations on the routine of every day life. This piece, though short, is one of the best features in the table of contents.

This is indeed a new departure, and ranks high among the recent changes in the college system. Mr. Danforth will undoubtedly take up this new labor with the same earnestness and vigilance which has always characterized his work in the assignment of students rooms, and we shall see a marked change in the appearance of our dormitories. Now that the appointment is made, we wonder why it was not thought of before, for the two duties suit each other admirably...
