...interesting fact that in many respects our southern exchanges are in the earlier stages just mentioned. Here is the last issue of one of them whose contents are "What is an education?" (eight pages long and "continued in our next.") "What do the signs of the times predict," and "Capital punishment." The work of all the southern papers is crude by northern standards, excepting always the Virginia University Magazine, but their tone is one of intense seriousness, strongly in contrast with the flippancy of some of their northern brethren.

We venture to predict that the list of officers printed in our columns to-morrow morning will reflect credit on the judgment of the class...
...allow Harvard to take its place once more in the inter-collegiate association. Foot-ball is too noble a game to die out without a struggle, and under the guidance of the new advisory committee on athletics it will not be strange if such a favorable future as we predict falls to the lot of the game at Harvard...
