...funny men can get up a "corner" on jokes, the light and heavy prose men can "bull" or "bear" their respective productions, while the poets can derive more fire from the others' fervor. But why stop here, and thus deprive the rest of the world of this feast of reason? Now that the project is set on foot, let it be expanded till it takes in the editors of all college papers everywhere. Even this will not be enough, we fear.

There is no reason that the gas should be put out at eleven, rather than at nine or ten; for few go to bed so early, and most find it natural to get their water and coal after everything else has been done. We do not lay much stress upon the danger that...
