...case of the Acta Columbiana, to degenerate into vulgarity. Of the Spectator, with its admirable illustrations, we wish to speak in terms of unqualified approval. It is suggestively humorous rather than broadly farcical; the little delicate touches that lighten the general effect are added to advantage. . . . The Orient (Bowdoin), Dartmouth, Athenoeum (Williams), Brunonian, and Student (Amherst) have much in common, each being the only representative of its college, and each being industrious in the accumulation of locals.

We should have more patience with it, were it cut down, as it easily might be, to the length of the articles in the Syracusan...
