...from the superior knowledge acquired by the students would more than counterbalance any objections like the above, and if anyone doubts the existence of this superior knowledge, let him try and write a good, clear, well written thesis on some subject, and let him see what kind of a result he will obtain, unless he knows a good deal about his subject...

Many of the reference books are to be used by over a hundred students, and each individual delay will therefore result in the serious incommoding of the entire number.

The verse is unusually good, and indeed the only drawback to a complete enjoyment of the number is the fact that Zadoc did not die; perhaps he will be expelled, though, who knows? The editors promise us a rich treat in the next number, marking the completion of the fortieth volume of Harvard's oldest paper. The number will be entirely made...
