...discontinue the publications which, either from the distance at which they are published, or for other reasons, are more interesting to others than to ourselves, and we shall hereafter not exchange with the Adrian College Recorder, College Herald, College Mercury, Journal of Chemistry, Lafayette Monthly, College Chronicle, Tripod, Transcript, Owl, University Review, University Herald, University Magazine, College Olio, Insurance Journal, Spectator, Reporter, Alfred Student, Collegian, Wells College Chronicle, Winnowings from the Mill...
...Owl comes to us full of heavy articles, which, however, are remarkably well written and sensible for undergraduate productions. There is a little too much discussion on our degree of consanguinity with the unfortunate monkey, but a writer on the "Plural Origin of Mankind" has collected some very interesting illustrations, and "Planchette" is discussed with considerable success. In typography, the Owl is inferior to none of our magazine exchanges...
...main band of destroyers made a raid upon the Boston and Albany Railroad, tearing up its track the entire distance between Boston and Springfield, each Sophomore putting one thousand rails in his vest-pocket; freight-trains were trampled under foot, station-houses were ground to powder, and the Owl train from New York, while running at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour, was seized by a gigantic student and hurled a distance of three miles, landing upside down in Miller's River, and terrible was the death which its passengers suffered...

...spirit of loyal attachment to their Alma Mater is strong among the Sta. Clara students, and, as it appears to be very genuine, it deserves the highest commendation. The religious element in the Owl is considerable, and his feathers are slightly ruffled by the breezes of controversy. It may not quite become the Magenta to meddle with such matters, yet there are one or two points which it behooves us to notice. The Owl's first article on secular education is good as far as it goes, and perhaps the writer did well to leave untouched the knotty and vexatious...
