...system, or more properly the natural growth and progress which modern facilities of comparison of legal authorities, principles, and reasoning render possible, is as yet in its infancy. It is now announced that "the design of the school is to afford such training in the fundamental principles of English and American law as will constitute the best preparation for the practice of the profession in any place where that system of laws prevails." It is unfair to judge of this system, in its present incomplete form and application to the school, as if it had been tested by time...
...large lamp and reflector placed outside the south door of Memorial Hall. Now, on stormy evenings, every one of five hundred men must shuffle doubtfully down the steps in the darkness, or leap boldly into the night with little idea where he will land. Ice and snow would render the descent, short as it is, uncomfortably precarious. The use of merely proposing such an improvement is, we know, questioned, but few men are generous enough to take the matter into their own hands, and it can only be hoped that in the present instance, at least, the suggestion may reach...
...succeed in limiting his desires to but one thing, - wealth, let us say, or knowledge; have we not enough examples to teach us that this one thing would never be reached, and that, even supposing it reached, the poor wretch would still have enough soul to render him miserable, "a little grain of conscience" to "make him sour"?

Though the financial condition of the club is more encouraging than we had anticipated, still great care on the part of the officers and earnest help from the students are necessary to free the club from debt, and render it able to meet its expenses promptly. The liberal subscriptions made by the students after the last boating-meeting is a great help, and goes to show that the money and good-will of the College will not be lacking. Still, the required amount is not yet all subscribed...
...best style, perhaps, it far exceeds in value for study the other pictures there. Of the other two pictures, Nos. 8 and 9, to which the name of Velasquez is attached, their close likeness to larger pictures certainly his, and the great inferiority of the latter to the former, render it very doubtful whether they are really his. Nothing very useful could be expected from Murillo, and the picture we have here (No. 6) is not of his best. Nor have the four pictures by Zuberan (Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4) more than an agreeable naturalistic richness of design...
