...hoped to thank the instructors for their promptness in returning the marks on the Semi-annuals in an editorial which should surpass that of our sister paper in both ardor and length. We thought it prudent, however, to wait the arrival of the marks before acknowledging their receipt, and we do not regret our caution. The first marks did, indeed, appear like the harbingers of the much-desired reform, but their appearance has been followed by a calm of such protracted suspense that it has become impossible for us to carry out our cherished plan of an eloquent editorial.

...could have given a more striking example of this "independent man" than "G. E." has done in setting forth at length his own opinions. They are precisely the sentiments which we have so often heard advanced by men who boast of the exalted moral pinnacle they occupy above their classmates. What is "G. E."'s treatment of Hollis Holworthy, whom he seems to consider the typical popular man, but a case in point? H. H. avows his intention of getting "as full as a goat." "G.
