...Right jollily does the editor drag the burrs out of the exchange basket and examine the contents in search of his favorite food, and much does he find. But the poorest picking is, on the whole, in the Harvard papers - the Advocate and the Lampoon. The Crimson hardly comes under the head of a literary production, but as a daily, is one of two, and only two, in the college sense of the word. The Advocate is the truest literary production of college journalism in our exchange basket. A little heavy for a b1-weekly, perhaps, but when...
...long connection of Professor Dunbar with the Boston Advertiser, as well as the strong support which Harvard and Harvard men have given to this paper, renders an apology unnecessary for reference on our part to the present change in management and ownership.

At the end of the first five years of his term the average enrollment each year was 950; for the second five years it was 1,028, and for the third five years including 1885, it was 1,078. This year's catalogue...
...proper study of mankind is man." The writer throughout is bright, entertaining, and incisive. But the immoderate application of well-known aphorisms detracts seriously from the freshness and value of the thought. The central idea of the paper is "The present lies four-square, and the sides are self, civilization, raw material, and fellow...
