...worthy of extended perusal. The Columbia Spectator finds many readers here, however, and is always a paper of sufficient merit and brightness to repay reading. The Princeton Tiger is of the same class, only "more so," and is rapidly becoming a very entertaining and valuable publication. But the journal which, in our opinion, would be found most readable, on account of its general spirit and excellence, is the Williams Argo. It certainly is the most neatly formed, the best written and the most carefully edited of any of the papers printed at other colleges. The Tiger and Spectator...

Taste and zeal truly robust! How the pallid young collegian of today shrinks aghast at such a programme of literary diversion. And then the editors, speaking through the young Edward Everett, say out bravely and patriotically (this was in July, 1810): "The foreign transactions of the last four years...
