These peculiarities of King Lear have been thought to make it unfit for the stage. Lamb, in the midst of scathing remarks about one who had mutilated the plot and aspired to improve on Shakspere, asserts that Lear cannot be acted. Such a judgment may be regarded as a bolder impeachment of Shakspere than the mere alteration of a plot, since it condemns, not a part, but the whole, for the purpose for which it was written. For I take it that closet tragedies are not produced until authors get to be more in love with themselves than with nature...
...faculty-student preliminary conference, that appeared in the current Lampoon. To many students, it doubtless seems that the proposed deliberative conference is little more than a "sop to Cerberus," and this opinion is, in some respects, well founded. It is not wise however, to pass too hasty a judgment on this proposed experiment. It is, without doubt, a firm opinion among the students, that some method, can be devised that will obviate the annual conflicts of faculty, athletic committee and students.

He is also found in other poems of this age. He appears in Byron's "Vision of Judgment," he carries off Shelley's "Peter Bell," and makes himself other-wise useful. But he shows little originality in his deviltry...
...disposed to criticise the management of the society, indeed, the students, and not the superintendent and directors, are to blame, but we do feel that the best of judgment has not always been exercised in making purchases. For instance, there is in stock about $35 worth of calendars, worth now at the nearest junk-shop about a cent and a half a pound. It speaks well for our habits of cleanliness that the superintendent felt justified in laying in such a large stock of soap, but we think that nearly $250 worth is just a little too much. But these...
