Usage:

...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 absurd to suppose that any direct attempt is ever made to lead a man into wickedness, but I think we must all acknowledge that our standard of morality, or whatever else we may choose to call it, is low, and that very many of those who enter college change rapidly, and for the worse, after doing so. Misled by foolish books and advice, the Freshman often comes to college, confident...

...this theatre last week entitled "The New Magdalen." It is a dramatization by Wilkie Collins of his novel bearing the same name, but differs essentially from the novel in its conclusion, and was written expressly for Miss Leclercq. The plot is interesting and exciting throughout, although we must confess it weakens perceptibly during the long speeches, moral and sentimental, of the unclerical parson Vivian Gray. The character of Mercy Merrick gives Miss Leclercq an opportunity to display her magnificent dramatic powers. Her story is that of a young woman making every effort against the prejudices of society to regain...

...must be the criticisms admitted into a college paper; they must be neither too bold, for fear of giving offence to the Faculty, nor too mild, for fear of their not finding readers. Usually a criticism upon any study in college, or upon any particular part of it, - either as relating to its usefulness or to the manner in which it is taught, - has to be stated in very general terms; if it is not so put, if anything specific is pointed out, the instructors in that branch are apt to feel that the criticism arises from personal dislike rather...

GRADUATES tell us of a time when old Massachusetts was entirely given up to Sophomores, when none but Seniors were allowed to dwell in the coveted Holworthy, while in the other buildings whole entries were often occupied by members of the same class. How pleasant must have been college life in those days, surrounded by friends and classmates! How easily could I forgive the men now engaged in their twentieth boxing-round in the room above, if they were in my class! And could I cherish my present vindictive feelings against the long-haired individual across the entry, who labors...
