...over sixty, and yet it has been often found difficult to assemble the fifteen who constitute a quorum. The statements which have been made in regard to the catholicity which prevails here are beyond all cavil. Not only is it true that the College authorities studidiously avoid anything which might influence the religious opinions of a student, but the students themselves are not sharply divided by doctrinal lines, nor do they make their religion, when they have any, a barrier to separate them from others less correct than themselves. We often see the member of one denomination figuring...
...little. In making such an assertion, we of course become liable to the charge of unwarrantably passing judgment upon our neighbors; but if the conversation and outward life of the average undergraduate show anything, they show a character which is not so entirely under the control of religion as might be inferred from the articles we have referred to. Surely we cannot assign to ourselves an amount of religion - using the word in a rather comprehensive sense - equal to that of outside communities, without casting aspersions upon our fathers and mothers, upon our uncles and aunts. It is of course...
...will next contribute to the collection a hawk and a 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.

It is gratifying to those who occupy rooms in the older buildings to know who have previously held them; a parchment transmittendum forms a convenient method of ascertaining this. I hope for the sake of those who are interested...
...Bulwer's novels. Not having read "Eugene Aram" for some years, I took occasion, recently, to look it through again, and I see no reason "why it should not have been censured at the time of its publication because the characters were taken from Newgate." Although the remark might apply equally well to "Paul Clifford," I had not this book in mind, nor was I, as the author of "Lord Lytton" insinuates, totally ignorant of the story of "Eugene Aram" when I made the above-quoted comment. On the contrary, I then considered, as I still do, that this story...
