...flourish. It wisely ascribes its paternity, not to the whole Institute, but to the class of '75, thus relieving three classes of quite a burden. The best article in it is the editorial, short, well written, and so closely resembling in ideas and language the initiatory one in the Magenta, that we are forced to admire...
...Magenta, which, as might be expected from its patrician descent, has never 'squalled' since it came into being, or showed any traces of infant depravity in attempting to scratch its big brother, has already gotten its legs and become playful. It has begun to poke sticks through the fence at its neighbors and natural playmates, the Courant and Record. Sweet infant prodigy, we warn you that it is not yet near enough to the millennium to make it at all safe for children, weaned or unweaned, to pursue their little games near the domicile of the asp." - Yale...
...NOTICED in the last Magenta an article commending the practice of roughing (I must accept the word in its new sense), and pointing out the great advantages to be derived therefrom.

...first number of the Magenta there was given an extract from an article by T. W. Higginson in the Scribner for January, proposing the plan of a Graduate Scholarship, to be open to applicants from every college in America. The Nation of February 20, in its customary tone of ignorant ridicule, throws cold water on the scheme, and severely criticises the author of the article in Scribner. The writer in the Nation grants that "liberally endowed and carefully administered scholarships are among the most efficient attainable means of higher education in our land," but thinks there would be great practical...
