...actual use, to take and digest an elective course for the whole year, we get all that book knowledge which, when without the power of practical application, is the bane of college graduates; while, to acquire this power, we have no instruction at all. The most important part of our education is left for us to seek out as best we may from newspapers and the experiences of daily life. I think that we all feel that this is the weak point in our education, - the ignorance of how to apply to the great questions of the day the knowledge...
...busy time of the year, wish to have breakfast after half past eight, are few compared with those who have so far appeared at the Hall before Chapel exercises. To be sure, the post-Chapel is much inferior to the pre-Chapel breakfast; but, if this sacrifice on the part of a few who prefer to work at night and sleep in the morning is productive of a great convenience to a much larger body who prefer daylight, we believe no one will be so unjust as to complain...

We refer our readers...
...kind. The hesitations and accidents were unusually few, and, except the decapitation of a war-steed, at which critical moment the presence of mind of Sir Guy saved the day, no serious casualty occurred. Mr. Urquhart made a very pretty girl, and Mr. Wright an imposing queen. Darnley's part was played gracefully and well, and that of the rollicking King of the French admirably taken; and in fact, all did so well that to particularize would be unjust. The airs were a little old; but, altogether, Seventy-nine may congratulate themselves on having successfully presented a bright and amusing...
