...Insurance Companies should find it for their interest to do this thing. We nowhere find advertisements of the Philosopher's Stone, or of the Circular Square; but we do read of "wholesome pie," which falls into the same category. Attorneys-at-Law, Shaving Bazaars, and Fire Extinguishers, all these may be admitted. But we do most seriously advocate the incarceration in an insane asylum of the man who repeatedly advertises in a Western exchange his little hotel, and states, as an extra inducement to college customers, that "this is the only temperance hotel in the county."

Most men come here as Freshmen, with but a slight idea of literary excellence. It may be said, to be sure, that even here no high standard is set before them. But the standard of a college paper, if not the highest, is one at least which all who write are endeavoring to raise. Probably no issue, in all its articles, satisfies the undergraduate critic...
