...college papers are a receptacle for the literary attempts of the students. Expression of student-opinion and pleasure to the student-readers are objects which fall in under this wider object. For the former is but the expression of a real kind of literary attempt, and is, as we know, the motive which gave life to our old "Advocate," and the latter is a necessary condition to the success of a paper. From this answer we gain no warrant to say that college papers should be filled by anything else than matter written by students. But we are told that...
Everyone who can afford time would do well to attend the French readings to be given in March and April. To understand modern French literature, it is evidently necessary to know a little of what Frenchmen have written in the past; and the subjects of the six readings are well chosen, both to illustrate the work of pre-eminent masters and to serve as an introduction to a study of French art - surely a fine art - in literature; and not only ought those attend who wish merely to get a sketch of French literature, or an introduction...

...question would never, in all probability, be be brought into requisition after graduation. Here, then, is an extra expense from which no adequate return can be derived. The expenses of graduation are heavy enough now without adding to the list this seemingly unnecessary item. Then, again, we all know the state of air in Sanders during the exercises is such as to render it expedient that the audience be lightly clad, and not be smothered in a mass of frills and ruffles. The cap itself adds no little warmth to the body. For this reason alone this departure from long...
