...advantages for post-graduate study offered by American colleges, are very few compared with those presented by English universities. It is to be regretted that such is the case, for the fellowship system in American colleges would be, in the opinion of high authorities in educational matters, a very efficient aid to advanced scholarship and to science. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and the Johns Hopkins University, are the principal literary institutions of this country which offer fellowships. Yale has seven fellowships, varying in value from forty-six dollars to six hundred; two are of the larger amount. The prosecution...
...this connection we should like to offer a suggestion as to the number of men who shall represent the different classes in the future conferences, if such there be. It is that the number from each class shall not be the same, but graded according to the length of time which the classes have been in college, that the senior class have the largest delegation, the junior next, and so on, down through the sophomores to the freshmen, who shall have the smallest.

...necessary expenses as many people suppose. At the city colleges, such as Harvard, Yale and Columbia, the necessary annual expense may be about $100 more than at Amherst, Dartmouth or Williams; but this slight increase is more than counter-balanced by the aid which the larger colleges offer to indigent students.

...farewell serenade before he goes to bed, or in the early morning he chirps out his cheerful clear-toned song to tell his fellow birds that he is up. He must be deaf; for surely he cannot hear the beloved yodel say-"not this eve," each time he passionately offers himself. He continues unceasingly to offer himself, and all around him, living sacrifices on the altar of his divinity, who will never smile upon him. Young man, be not deceived; trust her not, she's fooling thee." You cannot,-we are sorry to blast your high-blown ambition...
...express purpose of fostering and renewing the pleasant reminiscences of college life, would not take such a backward step as our representatives seem to have done. We do not wonder that the outside press comment unfavorably upon this strange action. Harvard claims to open itself to all, to offer the advantages of study to each and all alike without distinction. If this be the case, a body of men whose very organization looks towards the advancement of Harvard and her interests certainly make a great mistake in reviving a race distinction which is fast dying...
