...crow from H y, also an owl which has sat for several years in solemn silence, scanning the movements of the inhabitants of 17 H'y. Could it speak, tales of some queer freaks in this old room might be told. A clock which used to be kept in Mass. 27 might add to the wonder of what is coming next. This shall be an exceedingly large pair of spectacles with various names upon it, and which formerly did service perhaps as a sign. A map of the world, completely covered with names on its back, tells us this transmittendum...
...much indebted to the old masters as any before them; and were it not for the museums of Europe, in which their masterpieces are happily preserved, it would be difficult to say where we could turn for any art education. But these, also, are unaccessible to the mass of Americans, and the question naturally arises, Where are they to look for like advantages?

...MEETING of the delegates of the National Rowing Association of American Colleges has been called. It is to be held at the Bay State House, Worcester, Mass., April 2, 1873.

We say guilty, not out of sympathy with Hazing, but rather from commiseration for the Sophomores, of which class the "customary" disposition and bent have been to all outward appearances usurped by their exuberant successors. The Sophomores may repudiate our proffered condolence, and tell us what we call usurpation is voluntary abdication. In such case, we beg their pardon. We are sometimes influenced by the memory of our own Sophomore days, which...
...article, one that shall make the public laugh in spite of itself; an onerous task for two reasons, - the public is decidedly opposed to laughing without being tickled, and it is exceedingly difficult to find a sensitive spot whereon to apply the straw. By public we mean the average mass of thinking men and women, excluding wholly that class of constitutional gigglers who laugh alike at David's solemnity and Twain's humor...
