...week or ten days, when the receptive faculties of the mind have been in a nearly torpid state for several months, is a terrible strain, which will show its effects upon any one, no matter how strong he may be, both mentally and physically; it is like severe physical labor, after a long period of rest and idleness...
...RIDDLE'S resignation has been commented upon heretofore, and we must all recognize how great a loss he will be to the department of elocution.

There are few Easterners whose culture is not rather handed down than acquired by labor, and it is more the home life and the society of the fellows than the school studies and the elective courses that give the stamp to a man. I have heard it said that Bostonians are not learned, they only have the faculty of assimilation, of selection and arrangement. If they...
