...truth of the first statement is perfectly obvious, even to the novice in educational matters; namely, any small boy that one meets on the streets shows that he is undergoing a process of "mental and moral stunting," traceable, of course, to his application to English in the primary schools. Going further up the scale, can any one observe the enervated and demoralized state of the average foreigner, after a short struggle with our tongue, without feeling what a terrible thing this language is? No remarks need be made about "ye student and his theme," for they always speak loudly...
...ridden upon for four cents. The outlook is now promising indeed. May we not expect that the railroad war thus inaugurated will rage with ever increasing fierceness until its results shall far exceed anything yet known in the history of Cambridge travelling? What can be more obvious than that the Cambridge road will promptly reduce its fares to three cents, and that the rival lines will continue to "see each other and go one lower" until both roads begin to offer premiums to secure traffic?

If there could be but one crime, "behavior disgraceful to the college," and one punishment, expulsion, that would, it seems to me, be the ideal state of things.

...this year in the regulations for college rooms, of which it may be well to remind the men who intend to take a chance in the Bursar's lottery next Friday, in order merely to serve a friend. "Transfers" of rooms are not permitted now, but only "exchanges." The obvious intention of this change is to place a check upon the practice of drawing a room through one's friends. The only method now left for obtaining a room by this means is to have the friend throw up his room, and to engage it oneself as soon...
