...HAVE often been struck with the number of epithets that are applied to our University. As each person's opinion differs, so does his epithet. A fond mother declares that Cambridge is a horrid place (whatever that may mean) for young men. A maiden aunt, who has heard of her nephew's troubles, that it is as much as a boy's life is worth to go to such a college, and that she would not send a son there if she had one.

Again, the prices which tutors ask are so high that none but the more wealthy students can afford to patronize them. There are such urgent reasons that the advice of the Visiting Committee be acted upon by the Faculty, that...
...undergoing examination by the Era and Chronicle; the Index will probably lend a helping hand after it has settled a few more disputed points regarding Napoleon, and then the other papers will drop into line. The Chronicle is getting modest, referring to itself only sixteen times in the last number, instead of over thirty, as in a previous...
