...remark of an outsider to the effect that a Harvard graduate, however much he may know, can say but a few sentences on any subject, while a Yale man can talk fluently about anything that he does or does n't know, is n't it in order to begin a reformation somewhere? And if anywhere, it must be within the College course. The preparatory schools have as yet done little or nothing toward making writers or speakers of those they send out. It belongs, then, to the older institutions to take the lead, bearing in mind that while college...
...order to gratify a wish which has been lately expressed, we repeat the announcement, made in the first number of the Magenta, but not then responded to, that the paper will be sent to the rooms of any subscribers who will leave their names at Richardson's, for that purpose.

...will be remembered that Mr. Froude, when in this country, made a similar statement as to its advantages. That these advantages are appreciated by the students of the University is evinced by the increase in the number seeking instruction there, it more than doubling each year.

These things were successfully accomplished. The services of a gentleman from Zurich, Switzerland, have been secured...

We are innocent enough to believe this; can the Owl instruct our innocence? Some one else declares that "the exercise of common-sense but for a minute" reduces the difference between Romanists and Protestants to a mere doubt...
...notify the various crews that the time had come. Slowly the boats were seen to push out from their boat-houses and draw up to their positions. Then came more delay in arrangement, and after much backing and changing they were held in line in the following order, beginning at the western bank: Amherst, Massachusetts Agricultural, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Wesleyan, Williams, Dartmouth, Trinity, Bowdoin, and Cornell; the position of the last three almost sealing their fate from the start. It was no ordinary sight, these sixty-six young men, the pick of eleven colleges, presented as they sat there, bending...
