...plan proposed by "M" in your issue of March 3rd, deserves especial commendation. The daily newspapers are becoming more and more important as historical agents. With articles that may become of historic value, however, are mingled many columns of trash that it is far better to overlook than to read. Yet in the long run, there is a great deal in our leading dailies that well repay careful reading, and preservation. At present these articles are buried in the ponderous, rarely opened volumes in the basement of the library. By the plan under consideration, all that is valuable in American...
...friend closely; he works slowly, but deliberately, and soon, raising myself a little, I see, not a page of carefully written notes, but a wonderfully life-like portrait of the "man in the box," mouth open and hand raised. It is indeed a wonderful picture! In it I read pages; it not only presents the lecturer himself, but adds as well all the magnetic power of the lecturer.

...civilization may be slow in reaching Hanover, but it is sure to be there some day; and, when that time comes, a president's creed can avail little before public opinion, and the demand of common sense. What if President Bartlett had to change his creed, making it read-"We believe in the government by the students, subject to the advice and approval of the faculty?" It is needless to say that it would be an awful descent. But, then, some mountains will be steep; and men who are foolish enough to climb them, must come down sooner or later...
