...highest quality. We do not wish to criticize the quality of the instruction or the efficiency of the instructors in the German department, but we should like to call attention to the vacancy that still exists at its head. This department has been especially unfortunate in this respect. The professorship, if we mistake not, was established in 1830, and was first held by Charles Follen. It became vacant in 1835, and from that time until 1872, the date of the appointment of Dr. Hedge, the German department lacked a head. Dr. Hedge resigned in 1881, and the attempts made...
...that makes it read after the manner of an old fable, still, like an old fable, it has a moral, and it is of this moral that we propose to say a few words. the whole tone of our colleges is, we think, undergoing a considerable change in one respect in particular, namely, the light in which the profession of journalism is regarded.

But it is always inadvisable for outsides to attempt to pass any pronounced judgments on such matters, as the means of correct information are always limited. Every college student knows how much his actions are miss-represented and misunderstood by the outside world and, we presume...
...dullness of all the rest of the hour or day. So we estimate our own lives not at all as aggregates, but as organisms. Even so with other men's lives. We must value human life as a whole, not through addition of happy and miserable men, but with respect to the unity of the whole of life. This is the reason why tragic experiences may have far more worth than experiences of mere placid contentment; for tragic situations often give a unity, an organism to life, that is missed in times of joyous contentment.
