...Apropos of your editorial remark upon Prof. Palmer's answer to his critics in regard to what he calls a "petty difficulty," I may perhaps be allowed to say, in my own and others' behalf, that it is a very poor answer to those who claim that the Bachelor's degree ought not to be disturbed in the possession of its ancient privileges.

...besides this our "friend of humanity" proposes to put all corporations under government control and cites many good authorities to support him in this and the taxation question. The "Problem" being solved he closes with the defiant remark that "if this be socialism, I am a socialist. . . ." Such books seldom do good, yet they often have their use.

Dr. Everett, in English not particularly elegant, pictures student life at Harvard thirty years ago, and manages to intersperse a fair degree of contempt for certain methods which at present obtain among the students. But a class of students whose reading was Dickens, although...
