...common workman at twenty two, fitting himself for college in nine months, graduating after a long struggle at self-support, becoming almost at once a famous critic and an authority in his favorite study. What a lesson his life teaches. The death of such a man cannot pass without remark and honor. We owe to his memory at least a word of appreciation, for he has left to us in his life a high example of firm, unwavering determination to succeed...
...quality of the light obtained from a number of gas lamps equal to the present number of naptha "dips," would be enough better to make up for the additional expense.

Legislation may do much to help in industrial crises. As witnesses of this, the good effect of the establishment of coffee houses, savings banks, etc., on the continent is cited. Labor has learned in this...
...Among the list of prizes, etc., appears the announcement of the Dante Society, already discussed in these columns. Other features of the catalogue are substantially the same as last year. The dignified form of a bound volume, and the patriotic color are still preserved. Another year has but to pass before no class in college will have its memory stained by the old pale blue paper covered catalogue of 1882-83, and previous years...
