...that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country than in Harvard College. Her ablest professors, with lectures which would be read with interest throughout the world, cannot fill a moderately sized hall in Cambridge." The art of writing college songs, he thinks, has been lost, none of lasting merit having been written for years. The blase Harvard man receives his usual castigation. Cambridge society is also touched up: "It seems to be the inevitable fate of colleges to have a great many rather passe society belles in their neighborhood, and Harvard fellows think they are extremely...
...through. Ten chances to one he will, if he does go through, come out ahead of the extravagant fellow. But he does not know it, and it is not the less hard for him to grapple with the economy that furnishes him with merely the necessities and none of the luxuries of life. A great deal is expected of the Harvard graduates, but great expectations are not always realized.

With so large a number of entries...
...Princeton news of note. Our account would give the impression of a dry bundle of names and figures, but the editors have been signally successful in enlivening such solid matter with humorous cuts in a lighter vein. Throughout these drawings are capital hits, well conceived and well executed, but none are so pathetic by half as the canal boat collision, which we are led to believe is no rare occurrence in "New Jersee." The series of the eating clubs are, perhaps, the best on the whole, and touch home to the heart, or elsewhere, of every college man who thinks...
