...change in our paper's name is no longer a new story, and under ordinary circumstances we should expect it to be recognized; but this time we are forced to make allowances; for the Archangel has banished all secular considerations, and is devoting itself entirely to grief at the Pope's decease, or, as the Dartmouth would say, transition...
...first of these is well-managed and well-written, which is more than can be said for a great many of our college exchanges. The Vindex would do better if it confined itself to matters of interest to the school, instead of discussing the "Mode of Electing a Pope" and kindred subjects; and if it did not try to be very funny. As a rival of the Burlington Hawkeye, the Vindex is not a success; as a school paper, it is - not a failure.

...Pope was dead, and, feeling in the same condition as to my examinations, I determined to go into Boston to see the services. I had a vague impression, arising perhaps from my experience of St. Patrick's Day, that something green would be appropriate.

My Plutonic melancholy, the heated room, the dull Livy, -all are conducive to slumber; the very instructor seems admirably chosen to that end: but my naps are broken by my active neighbor, who says, "The French Left Centre don't care for the status quo, and the Pope's legs are horribly swollen." Now I don't know what a status quo is, and I don't believe he does. Why will he talk so? I was secretly glad yesterday when the instructor opened the window to keep the men awake, for I knew my neighbor...
