...while the poets can derive more fire from the others' fervor. But why stop here, and thus deprive the rest of the world of this feast of reason? Now that the project is set on foot, let it be expanded till it takes in the editors of all college papers everywhere. Even this will not be enough, we fear. No editor of any kind will be satisfied till he receives an invitation; so let it embrace all those of any race, color, or sex who can drive a quill. Then will the glory of the projectors be consummated. The distance...
FROM the tone of the College Courier, published at Monmouth College, III., we should judge that institution to be a sort of overgrown Sunday school. A poem entitled "The Drunkard's Soliloquy," which would serve as ballast for half a dozen numbers of an ordinary college paper, is followed by a choice little essay on "A Chew o' Tobacco." Did space permit, we should be only too happy to quote it for the edification of our own readers. Knowing that this College is a "mixed" college, we are not surprised to learn that such a subject as "Wife...
...learn from the Record that a member of '75, at Harvard, has favored that journal with a communication containing information with reference to the ball and boating interests, and the relation of '75 to each of the college papers.

In the next issue there is printed a communication from a graduate, signifying his hearty assent to the manner in which this paper treats him of the "meddlesome disposition," and urging that not a moment's peace be allowed that model professor until he resigns. Truly they have model graduates and model editors, as well as model professors...
...mortifying this should be to those prophets of the press above mentioned! We would earnestly thank those journals who have wasted ink and paper in such fruitless speculations, for their kindly interest in Harvard's future. We thank them, inasmuch as we believe their intentions to have been good. But however deeply they may be distressed at the slight progress Harvard has made toward that foreign system, to themselves so attractive, they have at least had the opportunity of seeing the folly of utterly groundless speculation. For our own part, though changes in some particulars of our present system...
