...this statement the lecturer suggested that progress can be a religiously encouraging fact only in case it is an essential, not a purely accidental feature of realty. But the progress that science discovers in the world is a local and transient fact, occurring at a particular stage in the process of the cooling of the solar system certain, in so far as we can judge to end before long altogether. If it be replied that progress, ceasing here, may reach a higher stage in some other planet, or in some other solar or stellar system, the lecturer insisted that such...
...best English and American authors be made by the librarian or other competent person, and that these books be placed in some alcove. Many students, having a half hour or more of leisure, would enjoy looking over such books, whereas now we have to go through a process of red tape often consuming ten minutes, at the end of which time we are liable to be informed that the book we wish is "out."

It seems, however, a good deal to ask of the conservative scholarship of centuries that it yield itself to the guidance...
...extra burden of financial responsibilty which should be entirely assumed by the college. In its next volume, if means were but afforded them, the editors already see their way towards greatly improving the character of the paper, especially in its illustrations. There is evidently room for improvement in the process by which these are brought out - an improvement that would greatly add to the appearance and interest of the paper for its readers. It can thus be seen that by a more liberal support advantage would accrue both to the Lampoon itself and to its readers...
