...MUTUAL admiration is all very well, and there is no possible objection to the Courant's complimenting the Yale Lit., only it is carrying the matter a step too far, to quote a stanza of a translation from Alfred de Musset, and criticise it (favorably) as original. Though translations are easy enough to write, we had noticed this in the Lit. as particularly good, and do not doubt that those who read it in the Courant, without knowing it to be merely a reproduction, will think it more remarkable than we did. The Courant speaks of another poem...
...Club, although it has not succeeded in arranging a match with any but the Cambridge team, has done noble service to the College papers in supplying them with frequent and remarkable scores. An historical society was the last thing discussed ; but the Faculty, recognizing the "social tendency" of these "mutual improvement societies," declined to provide a room for the meetings, and the project has fallen through.

As arms are for those...
...latent psychological causes of Seventy-seven's present imbroglio in reference to Class Day, will require the skill of some future writer who has brought the historical method down to a finer point of "coldness" than I can now boast of; but this is certain, that the rock of mutual mistrust and obstinacy they split on is still in existence for the next class to be shattered on, and it behooves Seventy-eight, if she wishes to keep up this time-honored custom of our fathers, to take warning. Already there is noticeable among men who hold a prominent position...
