...colleges is, we think, undergoing a considerable change in one respect in particular, namely, the light in which the profession of journalism is regarded. A few days since one of our exchanges made use of some figures to show the difference the last few years have made, and the result was surprising. The same feeling can be traced here.

It may be that some such exaltation of Greek will be attendant...
...think the idea is a good one and one that can not fail to be interesting in its results. Every Harvard student, however doubtful he may feel about the presence of forty men-of-letters in this country who are worthy of membership in an American academy, must feel that if such a body is to be chosen by popular vote he should have a voice in the selection. Therefore we call upon our readers to send in lists to us, which we will promptly forward to the Critic. The lists should contain the names of forty American authors...
