Not out of place here, perhaps, is mention of the '82 Class Supper. Whatever attacks in the past may have been made upon the reputation for order and propriety of '82 as a class, received a full and sufficient answer in the whole conduct of the one hundred and ten Juniors who met last Monday night to celebrate...

And this brings us to the general subject of our Western exchanges, which we have not room at present to mention severally, but which are in the main free from vulgarity, if at times crude and hasty. . . Returning eastward, we find the Princetonian, which has improved very much, of late, in the way of contributed articles. Its editorial articles have always been well written. We cannot say so much...
