...Princetonian, in a paragraph on the Packer Quarterly, completely forgets the ordinary courtesy that one paper owes to another. We heartily approve of criticism; we ourselves intend to criticise, and are willing to be criticised in return.

...grant to a large number. Many other colleges do this for their students, and, so long as our authorities have not taken the trouble, why should we not do so ourselves? The foot-ball and base-ball teams are able to do it. All McGill students go home and return at Christmas for half the ordinary fare.

This favorable opening means one or two enjoyable student concerts, and, we hope, a return to that very pleasing custom of singing in the Yard. The energy of Professor Paine has secured a first-class triple quartette for the Chapel; so that the present College choir is the best one Harvard has known for years. The musical electives are well filled, and the Committee on Music, appointed by the Overseers, have expressed themselves...
