...FAIR correspondent of the Tripod is exceedingly angry with certain ladies who consider that "no girl with any self-respect would go through a grove with a gentleman after dark." If the young lady be half so pleasing as her literary style, we are ready to practically indicate our assent to her protest at any time that she may choose to designate...
...resignation, he was recalled to the office after that of Mr. Sparks in 1853, and continued to hold it for seven years. It is very difficult for one whose whole undergraduate course was passed under his presidency, to convey to his younger brethren an adequate sense of the affectionate respect for his person and the profound trust in his wisdom which were-inspired by every hour of personal intercourse.

Many of us, most of us, feel a respect we should like to express for some substantial, steadfast character we have admired through college. We choose an Orator whose skill will express our acquirements to our friends and fellows. We choose a Chaplain to express our sentiments and freshness of heart. A wrong selection (as has once or twice occurred) does not dishonor the office, but the class. He stands as their prayer to heaven, - if it be a curse, they must bear it; if a blessing, they must receive...
