Boston Theatre.Miss Neilson made her first appearance in Boston, on Monday night, in Romeo and Juliet. We have never before seen this part performed by an actress of great ability, and thus we lack anything with which to compare Miss Neilson's impersonation; but, judging it by itself, we think that it proves the lady to possess, not great genius, surely, but the highest talent. This, combined with her undeniable beauty of person, renders us loath to criticise. Her comedy in the first three acts was brilliant, but not wonderful; her tragedy in the last two acts simply magnificent...

It hints also its belief - which is a very natural one, and therefore excusable - that our paper is the offspring of a pique on the part of the Sophomores toward the Advocate...
...year those who profess a love of study and of scholarship are persecuted by a merciless prejudice; later this is changed, and the fine scholar, before he graduates, is honored with general respect. Various circumstances combine to cause this change, but all have their root in reflection upon the part of the students. They see that men of learning are esteemed in society; or perhaps they ask themselves the question, "What am I to do after graduating?" Any such thing does all that was necessary, that is, excites thought; then the boyish prejudices by degrees grow weak...
