...some complaints on this head in last year's papers, but my staircase is as dark and gloomy as ever, after 6 P. M., and I continue to nurse the same number per week of broken bones and bruised joints. I pay $300 for the use of a small room for 38 weeks, nearly $8 per week, - a very steep rent, considering the building never cost the College a cent, and the rents are all clear gain. Now, if I paid a private person $8 per week for a room in his house, I rather think that person would consent...
...corps of instructors had to be enlarged, more specimens of certain species had to be obtained, and a some-what different organization in the laboratories had to be effected. These things were successfully accomplished. The services of a gentleman from Zurich, Switzerland, have been secured for the lecture-room; also those of Mr. MacCready, one of our own naturalists. The laboratories will be under the supervision of Mr. Faxon.

He too will follow his leader, continuing to live in an atmosphere redolent...
...blindfold a child and expect him to perform creditably upon the tight-rope. But the parent and teacher do the same thing all the time, and are greatly chagrined at the result. You wish to give the charge intrusted you a Christian character? By all means; there is abundant room for such. But do not persuade yourselves that it can be made strong enough to endure the battle of life, by training it like the young vine, shielding it from every temptation and every danger. When temptation and danger do come in early manhood, sudden and powerful as they will...
